Enterprising Education: Doing Away with the Public School System

***Begin Quote***
All the arguments in favor of a public provision of primary education prove to be unfounded and/or incorrect. The failure of the state to provide a high quality service to all (its explicit goal) has rendered public primary education illegitimate; and the immeasurable waste of resources and rejection of consumer desires has left public education borderline immoral. As well, if an educated citizenry is to be considered necessary for the operation of the republican government, then it is an inexcusable conflict of interest when elected officials are the ones in charge of providing that education. Furthermore, the argument of externalities and nonexcludability fails to buttress the case for socialist education. The only ethical, reasonable system for the provision of primary education is the free market.

Education is too important to have the gubamint involved at all. Just look at what we have: Immoral (based on theft from taxpayers), Inefficient (e.g.: corruption, vested interests, cronyism, political decisions, agendas galore, dropouts, and private & parochial parents pay for services they don’t want), AND Ineffective (e.g.: poor results, high costs, one size fits all, slows the brightest, too fast for the slowest, discriminates against males, and political control of content).

Wonderful column. I think there are very few informed People who could or would argue against school privatization.
