Like sure, there's no reason the government couldn't replicate Renfrew and fund it appropriately and put someone in charge that knew what they were doing. Aside from it going directly against the core idea of equal education. Only reason Charter schools get a pass is because they get equal funding.
There's nothing stopping the government from having 4 or 5 different education streams with different goals, funding, and curriculums. That's a completely self imposed limitation that will inevitably fail the kids who that will never work for. Same with school fees. You can have people pay school fees that are related to your children. That's normal in most countries.

Ok, cool, so you admit that it could be done in a public, publicly funded system, and the barrier is "equal education", something you apparently came up with.

Inclusion is not just about learners with special needs. It is an attitude and approach that embraces diversity and learner differences and promotes equal opportunities for all learners in Alberta. Alberta’s education system is built on a values-based approach to accepting responsibility for all children and students.
Every learner has unique needs. Some learners have profound and ongoing needs and others have short-term or situation-based needs. This calls for flexible and responsive learning environments that can adapt to the changing needs of learners.

From my understanding the goal is to make outcomes as even as possible, not give every kid the identical equal education.
