Essentially the same as my problem with equal outcomes, but at a younger age. Forcing everyone to have the same opportunities at a young age would reduce the freedom of people to choose other opportunities that aren't provided to everyone & it would result in inefficiencies
It seems you're saying that education is a limited resource, and offering an equal amount to everyone reduces it for everyone. That may be true with regard to public/private schooling, but my argument is, must education be zero sum? Perhaps we could improve its efficiency?

Does this not come down to the problem that schools don't actually get funding per student that matches what that student actually costs the school. So they scrimp and save and this has the effect of making education appear a limited resource.

Yes, I think that is indeed a major factor. Ironically, this kind of uniformity of funding leads to inequality of attainment.

Yeah I meant with public/private schooling. I don't think it is always zero sum, nor should it be.
