The nice thing about private school is that the student and parents are customers.

Let's not turn this into a private/public school thing

the unfair thing about private school is only people who have money can go, thus increasing the social gaps.

Vouchers. Socialistic Denmark use them. It would only cost me slightly more than 200 usd/month to send my (non-existing) kid to a private school. Scaled to US cost it would be something like 50 usd/month more.

Sure those are not the super fancy private schools, but they will always be out of reach of anything but the very rich.

My wife went to a private boarding school in New York that was paid entirely by scholarship money.
