John Hood: N C schools blow it on history

RALEIGH If the primary purpose of public education was to prepare young people for jobs, its entitlement to taxpayer support would be far weaker.

Precisely because effective education and training would boost the future incomes of students, however, private money would flow into the enterprise — from parents, future employers and (in later grades) the students themselves. They’d all get direct economic returns on their investments. Governments would subsidize the schooling of the poor, to be sure, as a kind of safety net.
