The U. S. Supreme Court ruled that cities could have school voucher programs that give money directly to parents, who could then choose among competing schools, public or private. The ideas was to create competition among schools. Like businesses, schools were expected to improve their services (e. g., how effectively they teach) to win students from competitors. The result would be improvement in all schools, private and public, to benefit many students. Do you believe that such economic principles apply in both private and public organizations?

No, I don't beliave

Explanation:

The classic economic model is based on the price competition system. This is a beneficial system for consumers who will pay a lower price as a result of competition. This works well in some sectors, but not all, such as schools.

In my view, the school cannot be used as a commodity. Schools have different structures for the same purpose, so some differ in their educational approach. If a competitive system is in place, it will pressure schools to streamline education to lower costs and maximize school profit - just as companies do. It turns out that a school does not have the same purpose as companies. The company aims for profit while the school aims to educate.
