Seems to me that you're applying American attitudes to Genma here. The idea that
private, for-pay services are somehow intrinsically better than public ones has

The answer is "yes", in the case of schools.  However there's no way that Genma
could afford to put Ranma into a good private school through the money that
he would learn doing "odd jobs" unless those jobs were very odd indeed.  
There are no good and cheap private schools.
