...I  wonder what Coleman's definition of "resources" was--simply monetary or 
did it  take into account cultural capital, accessibility, and teacher 
cultural  awareness?  As to the free market--gee, its worked wonders for  medicine!  
So much cheap health care and prescription drugs floating  around out there.  
Yup, equal and affordable care for everyone.   We've come a long way baby.  
I'm going to find that invisible had and  give it a high-five!...

If you're curious about what's in the Coleman Report, you  might consider 
reading it, being a teacher with a master's degree and  having passed the 
national social studies test and  all.    
 
The invisible hand is gesturing back at you, but it's giving you a high-one  
instead of a high-five.  The market model does not guarantee that  goods and 
services will become cheap and available to all any more than  having public 
schools guarantees that everyone will achieve at the same  level.  The maket 
model just says that prices result from buyers and  sellers interacting with each 
other.  Free market theory  says that the more government stays out of the 
process the better.
