Because we have government funded education you have to send your kids to the school nearest to where you live so nobody is inconvienced... rather then allowing parents to send their children to the best school they can find and can get their kids into.

Not always true.  In Minnesota, we have something called Open Enrollment that lets you go to whatever school you want given that the school participates in the program.

I'm not sure if anything like this exists in other states.

Not bad, though it does seem like there would be issues in the fact hat there are limited numbers, and local kids would always come first whether they want the education or not.
