I assume you'll next explain why social security should be privatized, rehashing the same oversimplified, damn-the-consequences arguments. This approach, typically espoused by the moneyed class, is neither sustainable or stable. When privatized systems associated with public needs reach full scale, they take on the characteristics of a public system which includes all of the messy, complicated, slow, expensive, and never-quite-satisfying decision making processes that private sector concerns don't have to deal with. Until they do. Your solution just isn't scalable in the real world. It's a nicely written piece, and reflects that you've put some thought into the matter and developed a coherent rationale to support a decision you made. But the public school system, globally, is a massive human success story and citing a few of its many shortcomings does not diminish that.
