I'd trust the government with our kids' education before I would a big business. Remember the joke about the guy who was born in a railroad town?
There's the good probability that a company "providing" education would charge a lot more than even a christian school, and would probably focus on math and science at the cost of the humanities and social scientists. It might even try to find a way to make sure that whatever skills the children learn can only be used working at that company. Instead of vendor lock-in, think employer lock-in.
As for taxpayer-paid cell phones, not a chance. The kids I see at work all have iPhones or something running Android.
