If it looks anything like government and union-run public schools, not good. For example, Chicago public school teachers get paid more than any other school system in the US (from $60k for a new teacher to $114k for the most experienced) and the schools have some of, if not the worst educational outcomes: in 2019, 1 in 4 7th graders could not read at grade level

With governments, we can at least vote in different politicians.

So basically one person, usually the woman, gets to not have a personal life.
Oh man... my wife and her friends see each other practically every day with the kids. They practically live together half the time. Whereas I see my friends (her friend's husbands usually) like once a week / maybe twice if i'm lucky. I have no idea where this idea has come from that stay at home moms are stuck at home. Most of the time they are out chatting, eating lunch at each other's houses, or doing something fun…
It could look a lot like a nuclear family. With a healthy economy that doesn't require both parents to work.

What the woman gets is nothing but a personal life. It's not necessarily a problem if she has married well, they plan well for her financial comfort after he is gone and they remain together "until death do us part."
It's primarily a problem if they divorce and now she needs to somehow launch a career from scratch. Those years spent raising kids don't tend to readily translate to a good resume and high salary.

When my wife and I had our son everything became clear and we realized that success at work was just a means to an end.
At one point, I was bombarded by this topic. Reddit, NPR, Twitter, every single voice left leaning voice was beating this drum. Why? We didn’t accomplish universal healthcare, women’s rights are under attack, climate change is unaddressed, nazis are growing in boldness and volume. We, in the left, have failed in most of our latest crusades (certainly the ones in my life) because the regressive powers are entrenched a…
The problem is you think the left isn't full of regressive powers. You, in the left, have failed because you're guilty of what you claim others are doing and do so while calling anyone you disagree with "nazi's" and "racists". making those "slurs" worth less than the promises you're failing to kill us all with.

This just isn't true, that is unless, you've been tricked into tying up your personal identity with your job? When my wife and I had our son everything became clear and we realized that success at work was just a means to an end.

I'm a former homemaker. What the woman gets is nothing but a personal life. It's not necessarily a problem if she has married well , they plan well for her financial comfort after he is gone and they remain together "until death do us part."

Nope, just the opposite. I don't like the concept of making work friends and keep a strict separation between the two. I was talking about the ability for the "primary caretaker" to pursue their own interests, many of which are precluded by the act of fulltime childcare
