You can see how much these educators are inspired and energized by their believes on how to make better schools. I love that. I humbly suggest though that it is not only about state/public schools being state/public schools which makes them bad, but it would have to do with the size of the apparatus which discourages educators, the bureaucracy and the static mindset within. The entrepreneurs in comparison start out small and bring in their own idears how things should be done within the school, which energizes them even more when they see things working out, even after long times where they first may have not. I also doubt that before this became a movement in the named countries, that it was not about making money at all, but to give their kids a chance at a better future as it is so often for parents. Only to the extant i suppose that the bills could be payed and the educators could make a living, too money should be a factor, not to make profit as that may tunr out to be a bad stimmulus. I think some if not most of these concepts could also be established within state/public schools, if an educational system is up for reform and the usual culprits of standing in the way as things should be done like they always had been done would be sidelined. There is one thing i keep remembering, there was a study around 2011 from a swiss university which looked into which companies are owned by which other companies only to conclude even though that was not the premise of that study, that increasing concentration of wealth due to shareholding, mother companies, trusts and such like it was already down to 30 conglomerates owning rougly 90& of all registrated companies worldwide, that that would be the most urgent danger to democracy nowadays. So sure, small buisnesses makes people free to follow their dreams and create an evolving educational system. At some point they might be bought and concentrated and the human ressource is always the cost factor concidered first to be get rid of and all the other downfalls of buisnesses. The bigger they get the worse they could become. I think we should not be pragmatic about it. Reform where reform is possible and cut our losses otherwise and build up new if need be. From what i learned f.e. about the american educational system over the past decade, building up new maybe easier that having to rely on people in politics which came from money and went through Harvard and similar private behemoths only to push the big private educational ideology like Devous did last time.
