@Reed2win I actually plan to make another video addressing public v. private education, but in short, I support the idea of private school as compared to the idea of public schools. I agree that most private schools, as they stand now, do under achieve. However, if more or all schools were to be privatized, said privatization would create a more competitive market for education which, in the long run, would lead to increased quality of education and lower prices.
Interesting but I fail to see how private schools could ever cost less than school district taxes. Such a drastic change in the school system would take decades for low-cost private schooling to be possible. Then again, no country has done such a thing so it's hard to say. Top performing countries [in terms of grade school education] (Finland as #1, specifically) have completely public schooling systems. But I'm interested in seeing you expand on your idea in that forthcoming video!
@Reed2win Could you provide me with your source for your statistic about Finland? I am starting to prep my next video and would like to examine the topic from both sides of the argument.
There are tons of articles about why FInland's education system works. They continuously rank #1 in terms of high school math, reading, and science skills. There's tons of articles, but you can sample some of the reasons why from this one: online.wsj.com/public/article/SB120425355065601997-7Bp8YFw7Yy1n9bdKtVyP7KBAcJA_20080330.html ; I was just saying that there is no country with a completely private schooling system, so it's impossible to know how it would improve (or worsen) education.
