> Abstract -- A common point of contention among
> educators and economists is the likely effect a free
> market would have on modern education. Most supporters
> of public schooling maintain that the field would
> either be adversely affected by competition and
> choice, or that the effects would be insubstantial.
> Conversely, a significant number of critics argue that
> education, like all other human exchanges, would
> respond to market incentives with improved
> performance, increased attention to the needs of
> families, and greater innovation. Historical evidence
> is presented indicating that teachers and schools are
> indeed affected by the financial incentives of the
> systems in which they operate. In particular, the data
> show that economic pressures have forced schools in
> competitive markets to meet the needs of families,
> through methodological advancements and diversity in
> curriculum, while centralized bureaucratic systems
> have generally been coercive and pedagogically
> stagnant.
