      And consumers and drivers leave the taxi industry and join and use Uber en masse.

      And not-great drivers lose their jobs. While bad teachers get to waste or worse children's minds year after year.

      With already disadvantaged children and their parents being the main victims while wealthy suburbanites are well served.

      Btw, another great thing about Uber & Lyft is that outsiders (people who didn't use to be professional drivers) can enter market

      Open entry, end to licensing requirements & reputation system 2 enforce excellence might produce/discover great teachers as well

      Current system works horribly for millions of disadvantaged children. (I cld but won't go into details re Madoff)

      indeed, but where's the evidence the proposed alternative is actually better? Science wasn't invented yesterday

      MI record says alternative is worse. That's the problem. DeVos's theories have failed. @KoenSwinkels

          I found this a fairly damning takedown of the famous NYT article abt Detroit example http://educationnext.org/nyt-hatchet-job-on-charters/ …

          rebuttal is overstated. Per cite, ½ of charters no better than public, author makes the statement sound outrageous

          so half of charters better than public schools& almost all others similar yet this somehow invalidates charters?

          data shows they do less special ed, so hard to say how real the "better" is. Also learn abt effect sizes.
