Public Schools Need More Competition - think of sending your kid to school at the DMV or the post office!

Interesting comparison of a public school monopoly to the Department of Motor Vehicles in this Cato Institute post.  Granted, public schools do not have a true monopoly except in rural areas and (hopefully) they will always face some competition from home-schooling.  However, they do have an unfair funding advantage as you have to pay twice to go to private school and this does create an unfair playing field.  A voucher system would go a long way towards bringing some good old fashioned competition into the school system.  This will benefit all, most importantly our children.  Interesting fact that Washington DC spends more than any of the states per pupil, over twice the national average, and yet they have a high shool graduation rate that is well below average.  And how will less competition benefit education?
