You did not address my point that one of the problems of private schooling is the difficulty of finding competent teachers willing to work for peanuts.

Surely you recognize that a free market economy (as opposed to the near socialist monopoly provided by the current system of public education factories) would eliminate such a problem by making education a competitive enterprise again... right?

(Oh, I keep forgetting you're a socialist... sorry)

It is clear to any who have studied history that the market does not price all services appropriately. During the days of private education teachers were routinely paid little and often were given board with a wealthy individual. Their pay was pathetic.

Civilization of a higher order requires that provision be made for the education of the future citizens. These costs are far too great to rely on the private citizen's abilities to pay or we return to those days when only the wealthy could be assured of a chance at an education.

Republics require an educated citizenry and without it degenerate into mob rule or tyranny. When huge numbers of the lower classes are uneducated the entire nation suffers from their ignorance and lack of skills. Our nation's rise to greatness owes a great deal to its public education system. All other nations understand this as well. This is why the OWK approach is universally rejected. Only one willing to ignore history and embrace a lie calls for entirely private schooling.

My child's tuition and costs are $6,000 +. How do you propose the lower class parents pay such costs? I don't want one of your typical stupid comments about entitlements but a practical answer? How will the poor educate their young if there is no public schooling? Should be simple, lets hear it.
