If I do not have children, does that mean that I would not contribute to anyone’s education? It would be great for us childless people.

There are a lot of things in our society that we just do not have a choice on.

- many can’t choose who’s roads they drive on

- many can’t choose who provides their electricity

- many can’t choose who provides their Internet

If we’re advocating for school choice based on the fact that we can choose some things, or we should be able to choose, it would stand to reason that we should also advocate for choice in all the things we consume.

We have the assumption that privatization would improve circumstances. In a lot of cases privatizing produces worse outcomes. America’s multi-payer multi-provider healthcare system has produced the worst health outcomes at the highest cost in the industrialized world. We need to recognize privatization and competition as a social tool, and know when to use it.

There are issues with the school system. Perhaps unions and bureaucrats have too much power. I’m not convinced that radically changing our education system is the right choice for everyone.
