Inspired by the Sol Stern debate at City Journal, Andrew Coulson has turned poetical in praise of overseas education markets in the style of Gilbert & Sullivan:
They are the very models of a modern market school system.
It doesn’t matter how often the punditocracy’s dissed ‘em.
In the shanty towns of India, Kenya and Nigeria
Are schools known to the readers of Cato and Edutheria.
They are private, parent-funded, and they outperform the public schools,
After application of the best econometric tools.
You’ve got to admire a man who can get “econometric” into verse.
