...But you could apply the same taxing principles to a voucher system that allows parents to pay for private or public education, rather than be forced into one and only one choice. I never said you had to abandon the public school system. Simply allow them to compete on a level playing field. Ensure that every student has access to a school (with public schools ensuring that there is a minimum level of education), but allow them to go to the best schools available, up to a certain amount of money. For example, each student is issued a voucher that covers either 1 year of public education, or up to $5,000 of private education. If the public school costs $8,000 and the student goes to the private school, then the taxpayers effectively save $3,000 on that student. |
The thing with public is that you are guranteed a education which won't destroy your parents financially. I'm not sure if most parents want to have to look at each school about, like they are different. A school isn't a company and they shouldn't really compete with each other. Of course, they should have a chance to go to a good school, but that's often dictated by your home address. Private should be there as an option though, but public schools shouldn't be forced to go private like some of them are in the UK, currently.
