Because privatization leads to profit-motivated, with leads to greed, which leads to cutting corners, which leads to putting profits over the good of the student

You don't think these motives exist in public education? You don't see profit-motivated greed when teacher's unions shut down schools in Chicago to march for higher wages? You don't see schools cutting corners to meet federal standards that will guarantee them more funding from state or federal governments? Schools put their monetary interests ahead of "the good of the student" all the time. It's human nature to act in self-interested ways. What is it about public, government-run schools that somehow subverts this?
