But you're saying that the more recent- The more recent Tennessee experiment, which is the latest one, RCT, negative effects on academics and behavior through sixth grade, which is the last year of the study. And I'd also say on the teenage pregnancy thing, that's another important outcome that we looked at in our follow-up crime study that was published in the Journal of Private Enterprise.
We found a reduction in crime, but also a 38% reduction in paternity disputes, which could be caused by out-of-wedlock births or teenage pregnancies. And we also had a โ there is an RCT. That was with Choice. That was with a voucher program in Milwaukee. That one was not an RCT. We did the best we could with โ we even controlled for neighborhood and single-parent households and religiosity.

All the โ as many demographics as you could get to control for. But another separate study in New York City was a charter school experiment by Roland Fryer and his co-author, published in the Journal of Political Economy, I believe in 2015.

They found that winning a lottery to go to a charter school in New York City decreased the likelihood of crime for male students, because we're the ones causing all the trouble, by 100%. It was a complete elimination for lottery winners through the study period. I don't remember how long they covered. It might not have lasted forever.

But through the study period, it was like 5% were incarcerated for the control group in the public schools, lottery winners who got into the charter schools, 0%. So all this to say, on the Head Start thing, I don't bring up these analogies to say that we should, I'm not saying that I support Head Start or Pell Grants or food stamps. I'm saying if we're gonna spend the money,

Yeah, can't get any worse, right? Yeah, well, maybe you... Whereas if you're taking them away from parents that are already doing a good job and you're kind of nudging them in that direction... they're going to be worse off.

That's the latest experiment, and it's peer-reviewed, published. Oh, that's really too bad. And the head starts that I've seen as far as the RCTs had the fade-outs. But one more thing that I think that I added that was really important to the conversation about school choice. I mean, one thing, it's not all me, right? It was COVID that helped open the eyes of parents.
