Every single thing you describe would work *better* if education was

more or less. Don't like the school Johnny is in? Go to a different
one and start paying tuition there instead of the old one. See, no
government involvement necessary.


Can't afford to go to a school at all? Sorry, you don't get an education,
because it's a privilege of those who can afford to pay for it out of pocket
rather than a right as a citizen.

Sorry, I prefer knowing that everyone in my society has an opportunity for an
education by virtue of their being a member of the society.


I think you misunderstand. The point is that if public education were
eliminated, you would no longer be taxed for it. Thereforce, your
disposable income would be higher and you could then pay for your
children's education. That is, assuming you could not afford it before.
