I often wonder why so little attention is paid to obvious discrepancies
between the hype and reality.

Experience tells me people will choose a better alternative when it
exists. Choices are usually removed by governments to protect special
interests. Power companies have historically been regulated, just as
schools are. It is difficult for people to get choices in the schools
to protect teachers' from having to compete.

We rely on markets more than common sense. That is to say it is common
sense to rely on markets.  If regulations made common sense schools
would all be wonderful because they are heavily regulated.

I see lots of failing public schools and common sense tells me
regulating them to do better does not work.
More than any other  government agency, schools are accessible, used
and relied on by "the people.'' Schools are closer to people, and
people are closer to schools than to any other government agency. If
local schools are an example of "government by and for the people,''
then we  must accept the notion that people actually want schools  that
fail to perform honestly and competently.

On the other hand, if "we the people'' must pay for a "money pit''  we
obviously don't want, does that not make us
accountable to government?
