Then our "disagreement" may come down to defining education.  In brief,
education isn't restricted to the schools - education comes in many
forms, including reasonable access to a number of artistic voices
(and not just those that happen to be profitable this week).

Of course, not everyone will benefit - but then, some people come out
of the schools still illiterate.  An imperfect process, to be sure, but
then, all the system can do is provide the opportunities . . .
