We have fundamentally different beliefs about the world. I don't believe access to education needs to be controlled by ability to pay, for example. (And costs of education are rising faster than wages, as demonstrated in the article. Also, some people enjoy living in the city.)

Education is accessible to everyone for free. Not to be confused with schooling, which is presumably what you are trying to point to here. The government already provides all of the schooling one needs to be a useful member of society for free.

If someone wants to attend guitar school to learn how to play guitar on top of that, I am not sure why it cannot be controlled by the ability to pay. Learning how to play the guitar is a useful skill and all, but the time of guitar teachers is a limited resource. There has to be some way to manage that.

Ok, I'm out of this conversation. I'm not interested in playing games.

I am not sure which game you are referring to?

You are quite welcome to explain why everyone should have equal access to guitar school, schooling provided beyond the schooling the government provides to everyone. It is not clear to me why that is beneficial. What do we, as a society, gain by allowing everyone a chance to learn how to play guitar, irrespective of how much money they have?

I suspect the game here is that you are staring to realize that it is not actually beneficial to provide schooling to everyone beyond the schooling we already provide to everyone.
