McConnell/Posner Economic Analysis of School Choice

 

McConnell/Posner Economic Analysis of School Choice – Views k-12 education as a benefit to each child (not to their parents). Each person (each child) receives one government-paid education at the school of his or her choice; each person then pays a lifetime of taxes to repay the educational “loan.” No one is taxed to pay for someone else’s “religious” indoctrination.

Everyone receives what amounts to a government loan for a k-12 education and everyone pays a lifetime of taxes to pay back that loan.
