I remember this post Derrell Bradford! It's a classic. "parents “stealing” school, which is ostensibly free, may make the strongest argument that education is, in fact, a consumer good." But, 2014? had the computer even been invented?

Another great piece by Larry Sand: "The universal school choice wave is rolling and shows no signs of abating. Savvy politicians will get on board with this significant cause." #FactualEvidenceDump amgreatness.com/2024/08/22/vot…
