You are  free to do "public education" for your community in a 
libertarian world, if your community is willing to foot the bill.

I always say that, if and when will be possible to have new communities 
out of the reach of governments, will be possible to explore and try 
these approaches and many others. Then, we will see what communities 
will be able to prosper and who will not. And what system really work 
and what not.
