Public Schools and “Independent” Schools?

Public schools, in this age (perhaps western societies ‘adolescence’ in “the Art of Educating”, in terms of growth and maturity), are invaluable.
But they are more a response to other deprivations besetting those most effected by unaccounted-for, world-wide Economic disparities.
“Private Schools” per se, are at their most dangerous while “managed” by today’s religions.
Independent secular schools which offer non-dogmatic eclectic courses pertaining to and including the “Spiritual Inquiry” are the nearest students need and probably should be to ANY luring religion.
A Just and Equitable Society/Community would have little or no need for “public schools” as we know them, for poverty would not determine the extent of anyone’s education.
Rather, educational needs would be much reduced, where the majority of ‘courses’, created in response to established ‘industries’ of reactionary specialist “professions” etc., and other products of the loosed imaginations of wealthy “do-nothin’s”, would have no place.
A Just Society would ensure none were deprived of the Best Education possible. One culturally and individually ‘tailored’ to draw-forth the Best in every student.
A Just Society would also have reigned-in the dated tax-rorts of the undeserving establishment, freeing all classes and members of Community to pursue whichever economic and educated life they choose, for themselves and for their children.
This way, we go closer to ensuring a Safe and Peaceful world for our descendants yet to live in the coming centuries.
