Having a workforce capable of reading benefits the entire society. Not limiting access because of affordability is also valuable to a society as a whole.

The benefits outweigh the entitlement aspect. State constitutions mandate a state interest and responsibility for education precisely because their writers understood that societies were better off with an educated public than otherwise. This came from their own experiences.

Economies of scale also come into play to lower the costs per pupil into an affordable range. Education is very costly even so.

Most of the problems with education in this country comes from parents who either pay no attention to what is happening, don’t care or are just too busy making a living to get involved.

Progressives have been spewing these excuses since the 1850s and have sold them to far too many people. They are no more valid for socialized schooling than they are for socialized medicine.
