A monopoly means there is only one place to educate your kid K-12. There isn’t. There are already private schools.
You haven’t made a point yet, except to say that public schools are bad, which is true. Not universally, but generally.
However, they are free, at least to the kid, and if you are coming from a bad home, that public school is a goldmine.
If you are coming from a good home, or a politicians home, well Sidwell Friends, Bellermine Prep, and others await.
Charter schools work, pretty much everywhere they are attempted.
I’m not sure in what world you think the left would give up their public school boondoggle, but even if they were willing to do it, there are hundreds, if not thousands of barriers to profitability posed by universally privatized K-12 education.
The research has been done. The central question is ‘Will parents pay, given the choice?’
The answer is ‘No’. No, for enough people that it would create massive public and private economic issues, crime issues, etc.
If I missed your point, I apologize. Your original point was simple: End it - the free market will do a better job.
My point was, maybe not, if the mandate is ‘least restrictive learning environment for ALL KIDS’. If you can pick and choose, no problem. If you have to take all the kids, and you are going to be evaluated in several, not very well connected ways, I don’t think it can be done.
All of this through the stupidity, I grant you.
My point is the money idiot…..there is a monopoly because THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE WHERE THE PUBLIC MONEY GOES….TO THE GOVT MONOPOLY. My point from the beginning was that a market would ONLY EMERGE if THAT changes…..
REALLY HOW THICK ARE YOU???????? There should be a law against it.
