Because that's how we got the shit we have today. Look at our healthcare system. The wealthier you are, the more you can go "fuck it, I'll buy a wing in a hospital and never have to worry" meanwhile middle america has giant chunks of population who suffer with chronic pain for decades.
Obamacare was the first time that half of america was able to even go to a doctor to figure out wtf is wrong with them.
The point is that what you're saying IS ideal if you can afford it, but the second you cannot, you're stuck in the worst situation available.
The goal is NOT to create 1 education system, the goal is to force everyone to use the same system, and then variance occurs not because of rich vs poor, but because of intentional choice.
I kinda agree with the idea in abstract ( make things miserable for everyone and things will improve ), but it never really works like that in practice. Humans always find a way to fuck with ecisting system. It is a nice idea and maybe a way to scare some people into thinking a chunk of population had had enough. Me? I am not gonna sacrifice my kid to make a point.
I don't want to enter the argument with healthcare analogy.
I mean the same can be said of anything. This is why the fight for for liberty never ends, because every day is a day some jackass can get into power and start claiming elections are rigged.
liberty does not mean "100% freedom of decisions in all matters". We already accept that you cannot drive without the same basic rules of the road. We already restrict that I cannot buy a tank and drive it up park avenue fully loaded because I am wealthy enough to do it. Freedom is not an absence of restrictions, freedom is the society deciding what restrictions we want and having healthy debates on the efficacy of those restrictions, vs what dictatorial governments decide with no chance of debate, scrutiny, or follow-through.
This one we would collectively have to accept as a necessary limitation because it would improve many things, and specify exactly how far that limitation should extend. That's the point.
But you are complaining about what we have today. Who wants more of that? Forcing people into worse education systems will just make people find new ways to give their kids competitive advantages.

This is extremely hyperbolic and makes it seem like you get the majority of your “information” by skimming headlines.
Obamacare also forced my PCP and many similar doctors to fold their decades old practices and instead go work for large chain practices. Do you prefer only a small number of corporate owned medical practices to exist with no opportunity for competition from smaller groups.
