My family could not afford private school either but we did go to private school just the same. For many years. So I don't believe coercion is the answer when charity has work and can work if given the chance.
But most people are paying and are able to pay. They just aren't paying directly.
And there aren't enough private schools around because they've been crowded out and undercut by schools that don't have to compete. They just take the money they want.
And the results have been destruction.
No, it is the current system that is impractical. People have notions about what education should be and despite the bad results are will ing to keep sacrificing the best interests of the children to avoid rethinking their assumptions or engaging in fundamental debate. They prefer to keep repeating the same tired cliches.
