The point of the article is that the surefire way to make sure schools are properly funded and run, is to make sure the children of the wealthy and powerful attend there too, not just poor.
- hodgesrm 7y ago"Surefire" does not not seem like the right adjective. Eliminating private schools would enrage a large constituency across the entire political spectrum, so just getting it into law would be a huge fight that would make it hard to focus on improving public schools afterward. The next problem would be to ensure that public schools are actually funded equitably across neighborhoods and that well-to-do parents don't turn their local schools into de facto private schools.
