Education should not be a for-profit enterprise.

I, for one, would not want Pfizer and McDonalds being responsbile for educating my children.

I won't deny that there are problems with public education and great reforms are needed. (I also won't get into the details because I don't have time right now.)

But I firmly believe that the education of children is the responsibility of the community, not business.

You misunderstand. The government pays for the education and private concerns administer it. No unions, no bloated administrators as we have now, just a tough curriculum administered by teachers held to strict standards and whose pay is merit based. WE could save BILLIONS while giving thew children a much better education.

Oooooh, Can't have any evil profits be made.

So what would your incentive be for someone to build and staff a school?
