If this is really what they are afraid of, wouldn't depriving them of basic education reduce the amount of common values around them and make matters worse?

So now the question is: what are the differences between the US's model of government to its developed peers that creates such failures in governance? It could be the lack of trust in government (which is inherent in America, it's a government for people who historically don't want to be governed); it could be a failure of the two-party system not allowing a plurality of parties to have to agree on issues, becoming a tit-for-tat power play; it could be a general misalignment between the incentives of civil servants putting forth project proposals to be worked on, and politicians to act on those projects (they can be temporarily unpopular which echoes into their party's national sentiment), creating failed projects since they can't be popular and efficient at the same time.

It's easy to blame "the government" without looking deeper into what exactly creates this malfunctioning government in the USA, for the past four decades the only solution is "make it private" and even after four decades of doing that it seems public goods and services only worsened in the USA so it's not looking like it's the solution either.

I don't see your problem.
