I think your viewpoint here is perhaps the most logical. Public education should be a safety net to ensure that everyone has access to at least a basic level of education in much the same way that medicare ostensibly ensures that no one falls below a basic level of access to health care.
This view of education, however, is not reflected either socially or in legislative reality when it comes to America education in general.
