So that's the argument you want to have and you're not going to be happy until you have it? How about this? Assume that it's more important for your interlocutors to improve education than it is for them to win a debate. Assume that they would like everyone to get a great education.
Presumably, we agree that public schools, in general, are not, currently doing a great job. I'm also assuming that, for some reason, they used to do a significantly better job.
I don't know what the point would be of recapitulating Friedman's arguments for school choice and vouchers in these comments. He's much smarter and a better writer than anyone you're likely to find here. If you've read them and made up your mind, a handful of HN comments are not going to sway you. If you haven't read them you should.
