Why?

Why is it unacceptable for schools to make money like that?

For that matter, what's wrong with the government making someone money selling cereal. (So long as they don't make any laws to favor cereal.)

If you don't see what's wrong with that I cannot discuss this with you any further.

If you can't explain what's wrong with it... i'm going to guess your viewpoint isn't based on rationality.

If a school can teach better AND self fund itself... what's not to like?

 

Every tax dollar the government spends costs some in economic growth.   Every dollar government makes via profit.  Is money created, and real economic growth.   We could only wish that we followed the example of some other countries who let parts of their government make money.

 

Australia for example I think have mostly had success with their GBE's and actually had problems since privatising some of them.

 

When run like independent companies they work great.  They only ever have problems when they're run like policy machines.  (See Fannie and Freddy.)
