I think even you can run a classroom for the $500K a year we spend now.

(When did critical thinking skills collapse?? How could anyone put forth an argument about cost of education costing more in a choice system ran by private entities?)

True story---

When Jindal was talking about vouchers a local teacher here--a vocational teacher that was once "teacher of the year"--that is a huge union man was bitching about it to me. All the regular vitriol you hear from those people. He went on a minor rampage and then at the end he threatens "if they go all voucher I will just start my own vocational school and show them!!!"

I said to him, very calmly, "you understand that is exactly what I hope you do and exactly what I want you to do."

In that moment he finally grasp the opportunity.
