That might work if you can figure out a way to fund private schools proportionally to the quality of the education they provide, but I'm skeptical there's any straightforward way to do that. Also, the portion of money that goes to shareholders is money that isn't spent on education. Governments can be inefficient, but part of the reason for the inefficiency is that they have to provide the same service to everyone and that's hard. They can't cherry-pick their customers. There may be new educational funding models we should be looking at. Maybe a lot of educational YouTube videos should be directly funded by government grants, and ad-free video hosting provided by government infrastructure if they want it.
