Dan Schwartz: Parents need to have choices in school selections

Our state is consistently at the top of every bad list, and the bottom of every good list in the country. All too many of our public schools are a disgrace, nothing more. This isn't just an education problem, it's an economic problem. Companies will not relocate to a state whose K-12 education system is at or near the bottom of the barrel. We should allow parents to have more choice in their children's education. Parents not the government are the solution. Period.
