Does education work?

Two blog posts on education, one classic about vouchers and public education, why we support it even if inner city schools are horrible, etc. Pre-blog. Hint: it's mostly to feel good about "doing something" for the poor.

Also, a post about what, if any sex education, works. Surprisingly, sex education doesn't really accomplish what it's supposed to, whether we're talking about abstinence only, or "regular" sex ed (condoms, etc.). Oh well, I guess fits in with the previous post.
