You do have to spend money to provide services. Government is great at wasting money and having little to show for it. The private sector is good at spending money and getting a lot in return for every dollar spent.

LA's sneaky elites cook up new way to undercut charter schools – and fool no one
By Monica Showalter


The Los Angeles teacher unions, the L.A. Unified School District bureaucrats, and all their court eunuchs in Sacramento know they can't take on charter schools directly anymore. They're just too popular. So they have cooked up a way to stop them through death by a thousand cuts. Through a series of proposed regulations, they now mean to make charter schools every bit as horrible as public schools.

Once again, the article ignores several important factors. Public schools teach every student that walks through the door. Charter schools do not.
Special education costs are much higher and charter schools can push these students back to the public schools. Also, disciplinary problems get forced back to public schools.

For those of you advocating for competition, is this really competition or a playing field tilted so public schools are always running uphill?
