Disagree, the most monopolistic sectors in the economy (education, telecommunications, health care) are also the most highly regulated.

Some states don't even have charter schools, can you believe that?? They only have one choice for schooling from grade K-12

This is complete BS. Private schools have always existed, and still do. On top of that, homeschooling is legal.

And how many people can pay for schooling their children twice, once for the the public school they aren't using, and then again for a private school? Or, afford to not work and homeschool their children?

That wouldn't be paying for it twice... it would be paying for it like 1.1 times because of the large number of house holds that have no children in public school and still pay taxes.

Who cares? That's irrelevant. You stated, quite clearly, that there is only "one choice". You're wrong about that, as I pointed out: there's multiple choices. I never said any of them were free.

I'm sorry, what did I say? You may have confused me with someone else.

This is completely and factually wrong, you should delete.

The highly regulated ones are natural monopolies that shouldn't be private at all.
