I want to see the State of Indiana make school choice available to ALL Hoosier families. It’s our money and we should be able to spend it on accredited schools of our choice. Competition is a good thing and will make all schools better.
Competition is a fine concept. In competition you keep score and you reward winners and the losers know they’ve lost.
How do we do that in Indiana? Do we penalize bad schools and shut them down? Not hardly. You can fail for a good long time and turn out a lot of poorly educated students before you are shut down. The cost of that, of course, falls on all the rest of us.
Do we take the practices from the highest achieving schools and spread them around? Nope.
Do we make sure that only serious players can get into the game? No, we have a system that encourages lots of organizations to charter schools … and doesn’t hold them accountable when they fail in the middle of the year.
Do we even ask the players in the game to be accountable for the state funding they receive? Of course not. There’s a giant push to make everyone accountable for how they spend government money … but that doesn’t apply to charter schools, just public schools.
If IPS mis-spent $860 the legislature would swoop in to shut them down. A virtual charter school absconds with $86 million and the legislature hasn’t changed one policy to prevent a repeat.
If competition made things better, why are the educational outcomes in Indiana getting worse as more and more kids go to charter and private schools?
State after state with more expansive “school choice” show falling education levels. Maybe the free market does not work for school choice. Are you willing to bet Indiana’s future despite the evidence?
Top Indiana senator rebukes voucher school program in new letter
“I would advise families looking at voucher schools to be aware that they are on their own at this point and time. They should strongly consider an alternative to the blemished and blatantly flawed procedures of accountability when choosing a school for their child,” Sen. Ryan Mishler said in a letter published Friday. “We need to hold the schools to the same high level of accountability they expect from the students and their parents.”
