Making government schools compete with more efficient and productive shools is the best way to improve the availability of quality education. You're hung up on improving just the government system, not what is available. You seem to have confused means with the end.

People should be able to opt out of things they can do individually for themselves. They can't supply their own library, have their own personal roads or state park, and control the welfare of endangered species.
They can buy their own health care, retirement plan, food, transportation, etc.
You really couldn't see the difference on your own?
