ABSTRACT

The main reason for private school superiority is that such schools are immune to the problems that inescapably plague government schools. It is common knowledge that private schools are generally academically superior to government schools, and this superiority is borne out on various tests. One school that demonstrated both the superiority of the private model and the problems posed for private schools by government schools was Westside Preparatory School in Chicago, founded in 1975 by Marva Collins. In a fully privatized, free market of education, profit-seeking businessmen would provide quality educational services at prices affordable to millions. A fully free market in education would enable educational entrepreneurs to expand this market immensely. A free market in education would both obviate such manifest immorality and provide immensely better options in all educational fields. Private schools are highly competitive with one another; they seek to showcase the value and superiority of their product.
