The tunnel example isn't the best one, but I appreciate what Austen is trying to do with education. I think he should have used this example to make his point (but that would probably be seen as self-promotion).

Uh... Chariot is also not a good example. It shut down this week. One relative disadvantage of the private system is that it can generate a incoherent, hard-to-navigate cornucopia of conflicting services that are ad-hoc and can randomly shut down.

I am pointing out to you various drawbacks of different private sector solutions to large complex problems, that inherently require participation of both public and private entities. I am not saying don't do them; but they aren't panaceas.
