Surprise!
Okay, so maybe it comes as little surprise to those of us who have been advocating for school choice for some time, but in a new study released by the C. D. Howe Institute shows what we have been saying for years- “Competition Improves Performance.”
In the Heartland Institute’s January 2009 edition of School Reform News, it is reported (once again) that “when schools have to fight for funding, students—and taxpayers—get more for their money in the form of improved scores on standardized tests.”
“The study shows that when schools have to fight for public funding by attracting students, those schools compete and students perform better,” said Ben Dachis, a policy analyst at C. D. Howe, which released the study in October.
No surprise for us here, but another nice piece of evidence of how school choice works for students, for families, and for taxpayers, as we get ready to start a new year, and a new Virginia General Assembly Session!
