I don't have any faith in the 'free market'.  I look at how scammers survive in the free market.  Places like pay day loans, and for profit colleges.  I don't believe, as conservatives do, that how much money you make is an indicator of success.   Nor do I believe only those who's parents make enough money should be the ones to succeed.  Nor do I believe 'work skills' are the only things kids should be learning.


Private Schools don't just put limitations on faith, they put limitations on academic success.  Something that public schools don't do.  Public schools don't turn anyone down.


I for one am grateful for my public education.  And grateful that my kids have an opportunity to learn something other than skills that will transfer to a job.  I don't believe that a person's value is limited to products and services they provide.
