[quote=jficquette]If we were to privatize Education your sister who apparently takes her job seriously would get paid much more whereas the inferior teachers who make up the majority would be sent packing.
A good teacher is worth $100k a year but the majority of teachers now are worth maybe $40k at best.

There’s one problem. Even the most expensive private schools in San Diego don’t pay 100k/year to their teachers. There are financial constraints: schools are limited by the amount of money they get. If you want to up the average pay to 100k without increasing spending, you’ll have to increase average class sizes to 50 students.
Many private school teachers get 40k all the same, even if their schools live on 2-3x the budget of public schools.
