Surprising only to progressives: Catholic school students get higher test scores, while the schools spend a fraction of what the public system spends per student. The reasons? Parent choice and nonexistent unions create incentives for a sustainable, superior education. You might think implementing those incentives in the larger public school system would be impossible. That's probably because you don't know Sweden's been doing just that for nearly twenty years.

Cor, look at me, thinking the public school system is about teaching kids. When I remember the purposes are to empower union bosses and indoctrinate children in the cult of secular socialism, things make much more sense.
