►   To conclude I leave you with the following quote, from a Libertarians
    education platform. In the end who is right, how do we make it work.
►   My personal opinion politicians should focus on the people and not on
    outside influence. If they are willing to work together and come to
    consensus on what's best for the country both sides can implement part
    of their educational platform and make it work.
►   “Education is best provided by the free market, achieving greater
    quality, accountability and efficiency with more diversity of choice.
    Recognizing that the education of children is a parental
    responsibility, we would restore authority to parents to determine the
    education of their children, without interference from government.
    Parents should have control of and responsibility for all funds expended
    for their children's education.”
