Unsustainable False Economies

The New York City School system is built on an unsustainable model, and is falling apart.  They have a new leader.  The leader is calling for "Sophie's Choice" decisions and more birth control to solve the problem.

Sophie's Choice refers to a scene in a book by William Styron in which a woman is asked to decide which of her two children will die, upon entering a concentration camp.

If there is any question as to who she has in mind regarding practicing birth control, well, read the comments section.

Education, like medicine, is a service and belongs in the free market, not provided by government provision.   It is widely claimed that the Prussian State compulsory Education system, which USA adopted, led directly to the ability of the Kaiser to raise an obedient army that would fight the universally declared pointless WWI.

One step toward freedom is separation of education and state.  A wide open job opportunity is start a school.
