Good post, Michael. I largely agree with what you say. re the ‘free market’ version of education, I’d prefer to be free of Gov intervention altogether, tbh. Without tokens, just cash (or gold!). Escaping the national curriculum is possible, as can be seen in the growing ‘unschooling’ movement. See Gatto’s classic “Weapons of Mass Instruction” for an overview of the philosophy.

Nice post. I should have read this prior to the previous one I commented on. (I read fast) I agree with most of your points. I hesitate to push for vouchers in education though. Currently we homeschool our children and I see most voucher programs as a recuperation scheme. But that is a long conversation with significant nuance.
