> I never said all public schools are hellholes It's implied by "abolish the non-hellholes". Since the only thing anyone had suggested was abolishing private schools, this equates "non-hellhole" with "private" as though good public schools didn't exist. If that's not what you meant, you should have (and I believe would have) phrased that differently. > Best-case scenario, the rich families do end up pouring more resources/motivation into improving their own local public schools This is a problem only because (a) we live in a highly income-segregated society and (b) the majority of school funding is from local sources. Fix either of those, and the scenario you predict would not occur.
