Surely public education is a social good.. Why should there be no right to an education? To measure people by their production output seems disjoint from reality imo.

A better solution to me would just be to provide an option for school to shift one semester forward, or maybe split up this semester over winter and summer, etc. But guaranteeing public education as a right is something that I'll strongly defend.

And you need not defend anything from an an elitist aristocrat like me. We don't live in the same reality—and that is okay. Because there are multiple realities. Unless you wish to object to this notion and assert, like an imperialist, that there is only one reality and that I have to "necessarily conform" to it. Otherwise, you may subscribe to your reality of God given rights, goods, and societies while hyper-reality cosmos-nauts traverse their higher and incomprehensible planes of existences like Lovecraftian antagonists.
