Without a doubt! Private schools provide parents a choice for their children's education. Choice creates competition and competition fosters an increased effectiveness, which positively impacts the education of all students at all schools. Lack of choice is a characteristic of a monopoly. Monopolies, in any area, inherently suppress competition and naturally bred ineffectiveness. Does anyone believe that we, as Americans, would possess better cars if the government took over the entire automobile industry, supported it solely via tax dollars and gave us all a car annually. Of course not, we would very quickly be dissatisfied with the cars produced by such a competition-free system. Our educational industry is no different. Area private schools like Morgantown Learning Academy (MLA) provide service to the entire community by increasing the educational choices available to area families. Educational competition is healthy for everyone.
