Rethinking Fairness in Education

For students, fairness in education means: You get exactly the same adequate education as everyone else. No more, and no less. No matter who you are, or where you live, or what your parents can afford. And this takes as long as it takes. It starts when you’re ready, and ends as soon as you can demonstrate the required level of competence — positioning you to be able learn whatever you want, whenever you want, for the rest of your life.

For taxpayers, fairness in education means: Your taxes are used to pay for public benefit (protecting your rights from illiteracy, innumeracy, and irrationality), but not for private enrichment, or political influence. And they are used to pay for results, not for time spent, or for good intentions.
