That makes no sense. Most of this country’s history, there were no public schools. What makes you think the private sector wouldn’t do a better job?
If it’s such a sweet deal, why don’t you do it?
There were public schools going way back. But then they weren’t called “Public Schools” until FDR came along and made them such. The government decided they could do a lot better than those country schools and city school districts like in NYC. If you’re in doubt, check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_oldest_public_high_schools_in_the_United_States
