  "But such initiatives cannot be a solution to a poor public school system." I'd submit you're still asking for some sort of magical solution whereby we skip this step one somehow and leap directly to everybody having the good thing. But that involves skipping the experimentation phase that demonstrates the thing is good in the first place. It's why nothing, right now, can be the solution to a poor public school system... attitudes like this have utterly paralysed them. If you want to see improvements, you've got to loosen up a bit on this fairness kick. Somebody is going to get them first. It is a mathematical necessity, because we should not do "experiments" by rolling things out to everybody at once in one shot. It's not like there's a guarantee that it's an improvement, after all.
