Government is what we agree to do together, correct? So are we currently agreeing that some kids rising to the top while others fall away is fine? If we run our educational system like a free market, it seems like that is what we are all agreeing to. Isn't it tough enough in a free market to see a business, which is an abstract entity, come to an end so often? Why set up our children's educational futures the same way?
