Extramural Education, An Interim Plan from State Schooling to Free Market Alternatives
by Linda Schrock Taylor (The Learning Clinic)
Our goal should be to close all government schools and replace them with free
market alternatives…. An interim plan should disband all local school boards and all school districts; ignore all state and federal regulations, including compulsion of attendance; ignore all certification for teachers. For the interim plan, communities should seek “born” teachers who are open and enthusiastic about creating small schools and willing to use proven traditional teaching methods to instruct all children in basic skills and foundational knowledge; who are willing to discard all progressive methods and materials. An interim plan should provide basic education during the changeover, as determined by each autonomous community unit.

Do any of the papers here ever get posted to SSRN?
Is a good argument for free-market schools with voluntary attendance is one where most of the stuff I learnt at school I never used again? Therefore this amount to an oversupply of resources and oppurnity cost of doing something more productive?
Voluntary attendance is a must. Education is a privelege, not a right; those not willing to learn are not welcome to disrupt others. Parents should choose the teachers for their children, not governments. Now how do we implement this?
