The US spends more on public education than multiple states where it's basically free for everyone. Now take a moment and appreciate how badly you are ripped off.

Just like healthcare...there are very few cases where replacing a societal motivation with a profit motivation results in better service or lower costs.

Most private education in the US is nonprofit. The for profit institutions are generally not well thought of.
