Default Re: Black market schools

I thought I'd add this nice tidbit, taken from a book I recently read: In 1821, *long* before public schools were created, 93% of all NYC children were enrolled in private schools.

So much for the fallacy that without public provision of schooling too many children would go uneducated.
