I wouldn't go that far. I'm merely saying that people should pay for commodities they do not receive.
Here's my position: Education is a commodity and should be dealt with by the free market as any other commodity. IF the government is going to make it mandatory, then the gov should only be permitted to fund disadvantaged children to attend the free market schools. That would be welfare like any other welfare program.
Government schools should be privatized.
I also agree government shouldn't be in the school business.. except maybe poor children who can't afford it.. like the bottom 10%. And even then imo it should be a state issue or even local.
I like the idea of vouchers as a way to break apart the school system as it is now though. And that includes giving anyone the ability to start their own charter school. Without heavy regulations, except testing every couple years.
A group of people who wanted a better teacher-student ratio could maybe 5 of them send all their kids to a retired lady or something to teach. And then all of the money per kid would go to that lady. Who could take a salary or spend it on elaborate trips or whatever she wanted.
