Ann Coulter On Education

Ann Coulter has a point when she says that parents should have a choice when it comes to selecting a school for their children. Young people are the greatest resource of any nation and it's only right that we should take an interest in how they are educated. It is important to ensure that each child receives the best education depending on their individual needs. In an ideal world, all schools would be of the same high standard. In reality, this is not the case with (rightly or wrongly) fee paying schools, faith schools or schools that select pupils based on ability, giving the best results. This has historically been the case. No amount of well intentioned government initiatives to produce parity have worked. Maybe its time to accept that this is just the way things are. So if , by selecting the best school, parents are able to offer their children a better future, then where's the harm in that.
