The Calgary Herald recently posted an opinion article by two people from Cardus, a public policy think-tank. Catharine Kavanagh is Alberta liaison officer and David Hunt is education program director. They argue that "School choice exists for those who can afford it. And, no, we’re not talking about tuition for top-tier independent education. We’re talking about real estate. Housing prices correlate closely with the best “free” schools." The public school system is supposed to provide quality education for all to bring about social cohesion, but "the current system unintentionally disadvantages the already disadvantaged." "Taxpayer-funded independent education improves public schools. It also closes the gap between rich and poor."
