Social Proof: Education
I asked one of my contacts on what she thought about moving to a free-market system of Education. She is a high school mathematics teacher in Texas. She said this,"The problem I see with it is that very few families would actually participate in it because of the costs ... And our workforce would then greatly suffer.
Also most teenagers have zero to no motivation about their futures because they can't see past if they have a date this weekend or if they have the coolest clothes or in some cases where they are going to get their next hit on some drug ... Even if their parents are willing to pay or care about their own child's future which sadly many do not. So you can't count on parents to help motivate their children (any teacher can tell you that)"

My response, "Oh, that makes sense, i do think if any real change in the education is going to occur, their must first me a change on how our society views education. It is a privilege and a blessing, and not just another entitlement from the government."

The mentality of our society has changed over time. Is it humanly ethically to give back tax money that was going to be used for schools to the citizens, and then let the people pay for their own education with in the foundation of a free-market approach? It is apparent, given the current mentality, that their will be groups of citizens that will choose to spend that money on different things rather than the education of their children. The next question, if that does happen, how will a large group of children, with uncaring parents or kids that don't want an education, affect our economy? Is it  then our responsibility to force and provide education for those children? Is there a line where the people in general just have to accept that those who choose not the education path have the right and freedom to do so?
