<p>Ashernm: My argument is actually mostly for equal distribution of wealth among public schools. If our government put the same amount of money into every public school child's education, that would help a lot with socioeconomic inequalities, without even having to mess with the private sector.</p>
<p>Gospy: Many students who do not have rich parents, would not even know what it takes to succeed until it's too late. No one in my hometown spends multiple-years planning where to go to college. Nobody knows colleges outside HYPS and MIT exist. And finally, my home high school only offers about 2 AP courses. As to it not being fair for rich parents not being able to give their descendents extra educational benefits? Well, most other industrialized countries do operate in a more egalitarian way. In Nigeria for example, the public schools are better than their private schools, and better than public schools in the US. Why is it fair to let rich people pass down all that wealth through generations so that it may continue accumulating? It's OLIGARCHIC, not democratic, and the US claims to be a democracy.</p>
