do agree there should be more experimentation in education. But it's always important to be intellectually honest about the difference between P(x | y) and P(x | do(y))

yes selection bias exists on parental level - parents motivated to get vouchers or send kids - and school level selecting best kids in the case of KIPP. but a market based approach to schools where i can select the school i want to the government to send $ to will only increase the standard of schooling.
