Agreed.
And the Marxist concept of government-run, tax-funded schools also has the full backing of the Republican Establishment.
We could save oceans of money by closing the public schools and letting parents utilize the private sector and/or home school their children. Public schools cost a minimum of $10,000 per student whereas private schools cost on average $7,000 per student.
Think of the possibilities: Individual teachers (formerly employed by the public schools) could rent a single classroom from the now-bankrupt public school system and gather in as many voucher/supported students as they think they can teach. Those teachers who teach their subject well would make far more money than they are receiving now from the public/socialist system.
Remember that in the time of Adam Smith parents paid the professor directly.
