you could sub in universal k-12 schooling and your concern trolling points would not need to be change. I applaud the versatile argument.

- sbrother 1y ago+1. That being said, universal k-12 schooling works because it is publicly run. A subsidized private sector model has a lot of bad incentives and issues to work out. As an example, I've sent my kids to a private school for the past five years, and last year our state introduced a voucher program to help subsidize private education. The school responded by raising the prices by almost the amount of the voucher, just for the age groups that it covered. See also: US healthcare.
- foobarian 1y agoLike I always said to my friend complaining you can't reserve a table at the Border Cafe: they don't need a reservation system if there is always a line around the block Of course they are gone now but point stands. :-)
- monknomo 1y agoI'm not in charge, but if I were, I'd just have the government provide the services. I don't think middlemen, especially for not-very-specialized services, provide a lot of value vs 'just buy/lease some space and hire some folks'
- titanomachy 1y agoIs this a for-profit school or something?
- marknutter 1y agoI would've thought we'd eventually move past the point of accusing people of "concern trolling" whenever they have a legitimate counterpoint, but here we are.
