As a teacher, I strongly believe that the public school system should be abolished and the facilities sold to private, for profit enterprises.

What say you?

As a teacher, I strongly believe that the public school system should be abolished and the facilities sold to private, for profit enterprises.

That's not a bad idea except for one thing, one very important thing.

I fear that the private schools would over time become self-segregating.

That's to be expected. Folks usually want to be around others like them. But that means you'd have predominately white schools, predominately black Muslim schools, etc. all funded by public money.

The melting pot concept would be gone. And that's bad for America.

I strongly believe that the Federal Government is TOO BIG. The Department of Education, for one, should be abolished. Public schools should “belong” to the people of the local community whose children attend those schools and whose taxes support those schools. I cannot agree that educating our children should even be considered “for profit”.
