Private businesses are not destroying government businesses. Private schools would do generally better than public schools because of a better workforce. Like you said, private businesses aren't the solution to everything, but it is for education.

well, that certainly is your opinion. I disagree.



If the teachers in the private schools can't handle all the public school students, I say change the public school teachers.

It's a numbers game that you refuse to consider. If the 80% of kids going to public schools go to private schools tomorrow then private schools also get the whole range of crap, from lowered test scores to violence, that we see in public school. It's simply not a fact that kids will all of a sudden stop being kids just because their parents paid private tuition. Especially once you strip the exclusivity away from privates schools which is, lets face it, the ONLY reason their results seem greater than they are. You fall for a false correlation.


Thrust kids into a private environment OR change the public school teachers teaching method.


Again, private schools use rote memorization, likert scale tests and the rest just like public schools. It's not the method. It's not the environment. It's figuring out how to motivate the kid in relation to their place in a society that doesn't require them to go to school or work at the family farm.
