Not everyone can afford the $27,000 that the Obama's pay to send each of their kids to private school in DC. Another classic case of liberal "do as I say, not as I do"...
8-10K for a private school would mean a non-profit. If you want to let the market improve education, it has to be for-profit. And it isn't going to be 8-10K then.

A free market would set the price. What is wrong with given parents a choice such as they have in Milwaukee (vouchers since 1990; 26% of students use vouchers) and many countries in Europe? I'd like to see educational freedom for K - 12 for every parent, not just the rich...
