  Does school choice improve public education? Why or why not? It’s difficult to dictate whether school choice helps or hurts public education. People who agree with school choice find it to offer a more competitive alternative for parents to support their children.

Some also believe that it is good because it forces schools to compete over students, in doing so they argue that schools must work harder to improve or risk losing students to another school.
