	The Heartland Institute - Research Documents the Benefits of School Choice - by George A. Clowes
		Her research shows there is higher student achievement at lower per-pupil expense in those metropolitan areas that have more school districts for parents to choose from.
		The difficulty the public schools have, in addition to the fact that they're constrained by politically drawn lines, is that they're constrained because they have a weak sense of mission, no over-arching mission, and they also have been losing the confidence of parents in terms of discipline.
		Public schools, by virtue of their political governance, may be averse to controversy, and therefore may shy away from teaching these subjects at all for fear of alienating or offending any group as part of the discussion.

		Researchers at the NCES have developed a method for calculating the percentage of students who are college ready.

	Competition Passes the Test by JAY P. GREENE and MARCUS A. WINTERS - Education Next - Summer 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		To analyze the program’s impact on public schools, we collected school-level test scores on the 2001—02 and 2002—03 administrations of the FCAT and the Stanford-9, a national norm-referenced test that is given to all Florida public school students around the same time as the FCAT.
		Their improvement relative to all public schools on the Stanford-9 was less than a percentile point.
		Public schools that received an F grade during the 1998—99 school year were directly exposed to the threat of vouchers if they did not improve their test scores.

		The American public is rapidly coming to the conclusion that more radical steps are necessary, even if on an experimental scale.
		A veteran public school teacher from the Dever elementary school in Dorchester wrote an op-ed in the Globe last year that summed-up why this is so: "What makes a good school," he wrote, "whether it's public or private, religious or nonreligious, charter or non-charter, is a feeling.
		In such a system, the old barriers between public and private schools no longer make any sense and serve only to reduce the dynamic benefits of competition and limit options for parents and children.
