Separation of Education and State is the non-coercive, free-market solution. Educational content would no longer be a political hot potato, and the market place would not only dictate what schools taught, but what their graduates were worth in the labor market after having been through their respective curricula.
Personally, I have no doubt whose kids are going to end up flipping burgers, and whose are going to be placing their orders at the drive through while driving their expensive cars. Actions have consequences, and in the 21st century the economic consequences of putting children through a school system whose curriculum is fundamentally anti-reality will be profound.
I thought you were in favor of private schools.
Lots of factors involved in society in education too--
