Rich people trying to make more money typically invest in something that can make more money. Private schools in Utah will make very little. You still haven't shown me big business can benefit financially. I believe they are in it solely to improve education. They will continue to heavily subsidise private schools as they do now. That is the opposite of making money I believe. You don't like the vouchers, but there is nothing to your big business idea. Nothing.
There's a difference between "big business" (which isn't how I'd describe someone trying to create for-profit charter or private schools) and the search for individual wealth. There are people who have left very successful and profitable careers in business to start charter schools. Why? Because they recognize an opportunity to make money. I said to myself, "what must that person be making as a charter school developer to have justified leaving behind their old career? Can there really be that much money in this?"
So while I wouldn't call it "big business," people are absolutely making money here.
Is that a problem? Maybe I am misunderstanding you. Charter schools get built for a fraction of what regular public schools cost. The buildings are not as fancy, but they do the job fine. People who build charter school should make money. On the other hand, do you think nobody makes money when a public school castle gets built?
