It doesn't matter. Vouchers, declining income bases, kids shifting from home school to public school and then back home throughout the day. It's the kind of educational chaos that breaks the machinery of public education. And it will do it in the exact communities that can least afford it. Wealthy suburbs will pay through the nose to create first rate schools. The rich will spend tens of thousands a year in tuition for boarding and day schools. The middle and lower middle class communities will watch their schools go into the death spiral.
I agree. While I'm sympathetic in principle to the Libertarian idea of privatizing public education, the result at present would be disastrous. And public schools, if they're well-run, hold together a community.
