I don't know if I agree with that                     
because I'm not sure how a privatized system would work 

do students have to buy books every year for every class like they do in college ? 
do they have to buy a microscope for biology ? or maybe purchase a lab kit like they do at straighterline ? 

wouldn't privatized schools make more money by cramming more students into a classroom ? 
wouldn't their philosophy be "let's get 40 students in a classroom and have them all score B- and C+ instead of 20 students in a classroom and all score A+" 
each student would get less individual attention but wouldn't the school's response be "as long as they passed, so what ?"

If fully privatized is the answer, why are for-profit schools so bad and so hated? Surely, if privatization is the answer, a for-profit university would be the best choice.

The privatized system much like we had in the 19th century is far more superior because it would allow for many smaller schools to be created without the need of government licensure. Classroom sizes were much smaller back then because one parent might educate 10 or less students. Plus costs are much cheaper than public school. Think of the massive amounts of property tax we send to the schools for a 12 year failed education. And you get stuck paying this tax an entire lifetime. There is tons of open source books and libraries too. A high school education in the 19th century was far superior to a college education today.

A completely privatized system would also allow for schools who specialize in fields for those students who have an interest in subjects that the one size fits all model can’t support.

There are many stay at home moms that would love to be able to enter into such a business that face current gov restrictions.

You have to eliminate the government regulation which is creating barriers for competition. The truth is there is a shortage of private institution in the education sector mostly blocked by gov regulators who are lobbied by the teachers unions.

A fully privatized system will always be more efficient and cheaper. The government run system has been a horrendous experiment.

If you want to send your children to a soft core porn school that would be your choice.

Most parents won’t and therefore the soft core porn school would either need to change its business model or face going out of business.

Those parents who don’t want to have their children attend a soft core porn school would choose one of the many other options.

The solution of appeasement of disruptive students is a waste of education time for those who want to learn. So yes I’d rather have them be disruptive in the streets rather than in the classroom. It’s not my child’s fault that your kid sucks.

So, the solution to an overwhelmingly costly higher education system and a job market already overflooded with degrees that lead to few prospects is to drop even more money into it and give out even more degrees.

Ok.

BTW, "free" is just a more attractive way of saying "other people will be paying for it against their will, and you will also eventually be paying much more for it later than you would have if you just paid for it yourself to begin with".

Hard to see who the winners are other than the politicians who get to openly bribe young people into voting for them.

You're a freaking weirdo.

And BTW, in many cities across America, that's basically what goes on in schools - kids who don't want to be there in the first place make it impossible for kids who DO want to actually learn, and for teachers to be able to teach.  Not sure if you've ever seen an inner-city school with metal detectors and the like, but they're not real nice.

But, freeloader - oh font of knowledge, please enlighten us as to what to do with these kids.  Since you have it all figured out, I'm sure you know how to MAKE kids behave and listen and learn and not be disruptive.  Go ahead and let us know where this works and what it takes.
