The thing is that there is a large body of services and capital investments that are most efficiently - for both economic and political reasons - conducted by accountable, democratic institutions. The canonical example are roads and firemen but also education and public transit and healthcare and some kinds of housing.
Extremely debatable.
That said, public education is such an evident failure that it's doing you a disservice to list it. Alternatives like Sudbury schools tend to be privately or cooperatively owned institutions.
(Also, most firefighters are volunteers, who need not be publicly funded.)
