much per student annually as the best private schools. Reducing that tax burden
would foster a flourishing private school industry.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Precisely. </DIV>
<DIV>Not having children in the first place is the way to reduce couples' tax
burdens. And if couples do become families then they must monitor the quality of
the schools themselves and not say "it's the government's and teachers'
unions responsibilty to keep education from declining too much in
quality"-- because government & unions wont do so. Also long as we
have mass education school-prison/babysitting institutions we will
have declines in individual school quality, with inner cities having the worst
schools. My hunch is that parents do want their 'kids' educated yet not
particularly more educated than themselves.<BR></DIV>
