Keep the stupid and needy and you can control them.

Our local school was not cutting it for our daughter and she then went to a public school that had distance learning. She went from a C average as a freshman to honor roll and made friends from all over the state. They even supplied the laptop for her to keep. It was not a good one, but worked for online schooling.
Too bad those options aren't available more often.
Unfortunately it seems most schools are not interested in teaching your kids how to learn, just how to score well on a test for the schools to get more money.
I wonder how much vouchers would change that.
