The core problem is the absence of accountability. When a family has no choice but to send their child to a failing school — when that school faces no competitive pressure, no consequence for poor performance, no risk of losing students to better alternatives — there is no incentive to improve. Administrators optimize for metrics that protect the institution. Standards erode. Spending climbs. Achievement falls.
School choice breaks that cycle. When parents can direct education dollars toward the school that best serves their child — public, charter, private, or homeschool — schools must compete for students by delivering results. Schools that perform earn enrollment.
