Stan Jones on Education

Privatize all schools-get government out

Government schools are no longer focused on education. They have become political indoctrination centers. Government controlled education was the very first form of government welfare. Sunday school or Monday school - neither is a government function. We must get government our of our schools. All schools should be privatized and related taxes reduced or repealed.

The poor advocate for school choice for good reason

Traditionally the poor have been the strongest advocates of school choice programs. Private schools would force educators to teach well or go out of business. Troublemakers that disrupted classes and made learning difficult would be excluded until their behavior improved.

Private schools would specialize to help students at any level of learning ability. One private institution specializes in students who are about to drop out of public schools. It boasts an 85% graduation rate.
