        Yes, monetising it also creates stupid incentives. In the educational scenario you’ll have to face the fact that if someone pays you for a service they are your client. How do you educated someone on whose feedback and money you depend? Certainly not in an objective manner.

          Never known any private school that does not do grade inflation .-.

            It’s to the point where university admissions departments have scaling charts for the major private high-schools based on how much they inflate grades.

            In the city where I live the worst universities are the private ones ironically. (For the exact same reason.)

        I’m fine with public healthcare if it’s good quality. But it would be nice if I could go deep into my pockets and pay extra for something I really care about.

      This would be an ideal scenario, but while public schools and related services are not properly addressed, private schools provide a way for parents to possibly give a better education to their children.

      There’s the argument that if private schools didn’t exist, there would be a bigger drive for the improvement of public ones, but I believe that drive can exist independently of private schools. In the end, though, they would ideally become pretty much obsolete due to public schools being so good already, but we’re still far from that.
