Education needs to be entirely publicly funded, needs to be publicly provided, every citizen needs access to an education. The alternative, if you prefer, is homeschool.
I'd much rather have a State provided education for everyone with private alternative (tho with a curriculum approved by it too) being available for those gifted enough.
Not everyone is as able to learn and those that do not shouldn't impede the ones who want to. The State can simply not discriminate in such a way so we have to leave it to private actors.
The only thing private education institutions allow is segregation on the basis of people being able to fork out thousands of dollars a year for private education. It doesn't separate the smart from others or the hard workers from others, it separates the rich from the poor.
