Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism in Schools

    In capitalistic schools, students have complete choice in classes. There are no public schools; all schools are privately owned. There is also no government funding. Competition fuels the quality of capitalistic schools. Not all children must attend school.
    Communistic school systems consist of government funded, owned, and run public schools. Schools are uniform. Students are not able to choose their classes. Career choices (and therefore education) are chosen by the government. All students are educated, but education is specialized based on assessments of students' talents and on students' chosen careers.
    Socialistic education systems are a mixture of communistic and capitalistic education systems. Some choice is awarded to students in the choosing of their classes, education, and career paths. There are both public and private schools. There is some government funding. Everyone has the same opportunity for education in socialistic school systems.
