And what exactly are the unions doing? Putting profit (benefits/job security/money) before excellence.The major problem with private schools in the elementary and secondary levels is that they will (1) teach to Student Learning Outcomes instead of higher skills and knowledge, and (2) will put profit before educational excellence.
This argument has a track record of fail. Before public schools were the norm, all schools were private and had a very solid track record of success. Why? Because they didn't bother wasting time on those who did not desire to learn. Maybe there's an idea... end truancy laws. No... the problems that produces are worse. But then creating a school of last resort is in order.
You have not made your point. Privatization is worse than no cure.
