Private schools, like private health have high standards, but are only available to very few people. But the thing with social education is that it t guarentees that everyone has a minumum standard of education facilities instead of very few having high standards. The rich can still afford the high standards, but the poor also have a standard, be it not as goo, it still exists.

Do you know what I mean?

 

Yes, but this is what I meant about the difference between people who believe in socialism vs capitalism in the other thread.

 

There now is a standard, but that standard is worse for the poor even, then before we had a standard. The poor and the upper-middle class now get roughly the same education. In capitalism,  the upper-middle class would have a lot better education, and the poor would have a better education as well, just not as good as the upper-middle class have.

Is it better for everyone to be the same, or everyone be better at different rates? A Capitalist says better is better. Look at you, and where you would have been in a different system. A Socialist says as long as we are all in the same boat, it's better. Even if that boat is far worse then the boats each individual would be in.
