Possibly denying education to those who don't do well but want to learn anyway?
I'm not sure. It seems that education (to be informed participants in Jeffersonian democracy) has always been defined as an inalienable right, and the best way to guarantee that it isn't alienated is to provide the funding for it. Guaranteeing fairness, as fairness is guaranteed in voting (failure is not the same as not trying), implies a certain level of control.
Can you see a form of privatized education that would provide that guarantee?
Thanks for the question. It made me think in an uncomfortable way, which I should be required to do more often.
