First, I didn't suggest things are fine as they are. I suggested that for-profit schools aren't helping much. There is nothing about saying that a suggested solution to a problem is not likely to work that implies that a solution wouldn't be desirable.
Second, the fact that for-profit schools at the post-secondary level are a disaster is well-documented. This might be an indication that this approach isn't a great one for education.
Third, there are only a few K-12 charter-type schools that have been shown to both work better than public schools for poor/minority communities, and to be replicable. Those are all, to my knowledge, non-profit.
