That’d be fine by me. But politically untenable at this point. Simply chipping away as much as possible seems the best we can do there. Also, wholesale privatization becomes suspect, such as here, where the big public schools would just become private monopolies. Better to help some competition crop up before cutting off the supply completely, I think.
And not that we’ve had much political success at the college level of course...
The trouble here is we are on out third generation after the leftist takeover of all education. Parents have been miseducated to agree with the official government/education-industry position that if you pay teachers more money, they will become more effective teachers. They are receptive to the latest fad touted by “experts” in the education industry, however ridiculous the new strategy may seem to rational people. Parents are government lobbyists for unlimited increased spending for their little darlings.
Retail politicians must pay homage to the teachers union to even get started.
