Should public education be treated (privatized) the same as health care is now?

I feel that I should not have to pay for the education of people's children who have not planned ahead to save or budget enough money for their children's education. All schools should be private schools. Those people who cannot plan ahead do not deserve to have their children eduated at my or anyone else's expense.|||There already IS a private school option if you can afford it...|||Sometimes it's not about planning ahead. It's simply a matter of survival.





You're assuming that everyone makes the same amount of money and that you saved to send your child to school, while they splurged. That's not in alignment with reality.





Some people work 2 or 3 jobs and can still barely afford to pay the basics. Since they are uneducated the only jobs they can get are low paying labor jobs. They can't afford to send their children to a nice private school. If there was no public education at all, they'd either send their kids to the cheapest (and most likely worst) private school, or they'd get no schooling at all.





So then we'd have another generation of children without an education and an inability to afford to send their kids to a decent school. In a few generations we'd have a major split in the classes. We'd have wealthy families who could afford to send their kids to the best schools, guaranteeing them high paying jobs, and we'd have poor families who children would be getting a lesser education and who'd be stuck doing menial labor.
