Nay
I totally agree with Senator Nix's remarks. It is our mission to preserve the public school system and to make it the most efficient, effective, and outstanding educational institution in the world. We should not kowtow to the needs of a private business to siphon our best teachers and our most outstanding students.
Indeed, these private, independent businesses should be able to survive on their own - is that not the free market? One can hardly ask for the government to prop up a failed business, isn't that right?
Apart from bluster, there is no real reason why we cannot achieve incredible success with our public school system - the problem facing us all is a lack of leadership and of courage. We have to work for the public interest, not private profit.
