Everyone else is languishing in bad schools and lifelong poverty right now with public schools that I pay for yet receive nothing from. And your answer is don't you dare stop paying or poor children will languish in bad schools and lifelong poverty! I don't get it!
I'm saying that the free market can't solve the challenge of education in the 21st century, and that it will make inequality much worse.
Inequality does affect you. If talented kids get trapped in bad zip codes, bad schools, etc., the economy loses countless potential innovators and leaders. Instead they become criminals and cost society through policing, incarceration, broken families, productivity loss, etc.
We need to fix public education because we need a system that cultivates talent regardless of zip code, and free markets make it very unlikely that high-quality schools will end up in challenging neighborhoods with low profit margins.
