Debates Team: Abolishing private school?

I agree with Chris's value which shows importance on equal educational opportunities for everyone. That is why I vote for him. However, I am not 100 % agree with his proposal. Even equal education chance is important, it does not mean avoiding private school gives equal education opportunities. Only public education does means equal education opportunities, but mixture of private and public school also can create equal educational opportunities in society.

For instance, in Japan we have both public schools and private schools. We have public college and private college as well as high schools and junior high school, or even private kindergardens. But compare to U.S., the numbers of such private kindergardens or high school are few, and public schools are majority. So why can Japanese education system of mixture of public and private keep its equal education opportunities? Well, the ration of public and private school is one answer. Unlike U.S., most of kids goes to public school, and kids who go to private school are rare. So private school does not take opportunities over from public school.

Another reason is the quality of public school and private school are same. Basically no matter you go private or public school, what you learn in the school is same. So in Japan, just because you go to private school does not mean you have better education. That said, whether going private or public school, everyone has equal educational opportunities.

Thus, after debating, I think it is not the matter of avolishing private or the other. The solution they should look at is not that point. Rather, they should discuss how to improve the standard American education system.
