Comment on Ask HN: Do you think public education can be fixed?parent

Exactly and the education of a child shouldn't be focused on keeping kids off the street. This is a positive by-product but unfortunately seems to be the extent of what the public sector can do in developing areas.

The private sector has to focus on providing a quality education or their tuition will dissipate and they will shut down.

Or they could just inflate their test scores. [1]

That story is related to a public school, private schools are not as concerned with standardized test scores. Unlike the public sector their funding isn't determined by government review.
