When I learned that Ian Underwood’s latest book was available, I eagerly awaited an opportunity to buy it. An in-person sale that didn’t require excessive miles on my odometer. Today was the day because his wife had a table at an event in my zip code.
I recently attended Ian Underwood’s presentation titled “Back to Schools” at the Sullivan County GOP Committee meeting, during which he argued coherently and consistently for separating the concerns of what to include in government-funded schools and what to exclude.
Let me begin by saying this was not easy. There were many excellent comments on a wide range of topics across nearly every piece of content we published last week. But as they say in the Movie Highlander. There can be only one.

And so every other organizing principle is doomed to the kind of failure that …
The government-run public school experiment has failed. Costs are out of control, and most of the money is spent on overhead, in other words, typical of government interventions. We’re wasting millions annually, at every opportunity, to pay staff and managers who have nothing to do with teaching.
