What would probably happen is that you’d start figuring out what the real cost of the education is. Some massive market exists for totally private sector education is what I’ve been told, but I haven’t seen that market.

If there was such a market, it would have probably evidenced itself at the college level perhaps.

There are very, very few private schools that don’t accept some sort of state or federal money.

One is Hillsdale College. Outstanding school, and not cheap. They don’t take a dime of government money for any reason.

I can’t think of another, but if such a market for totally private institutions then I should be able to think of at least a dozen.

People, in short, would have a cow if they had to pay the full freight of their education.

What I will grant is that if they DID have to pay an actual invoice for their education, the kids would be coming to school better prepared. . .

Or more realistically, they wouldn’t be coming at all.

You made so many false equivalencies and straw arguments in there it’s hard to know where to start.
First, you conflated higher education with public school education.
Second, you are apparently unaware of the boom in on line private education.
Third, the “real cost” of eduation as you called it involves paying many high profile professors a few hundred thousand a year NOT to teach a damned class.
Fourth, you miss the point that we already as a society pay for every kid to have K-12 education…..and the massive market would be created if each family could take their allotment of money to whatever school they wanted.
Fifth, it was reported that DC now spends 30 thousand dollars per kid per year. Now please, tell me a huge market wouldn’t spring up overnight if that money could be taken to schools of choice. 30K a year!!!
