The solution to public education is very simple. Take all the tax money for education and turn it into vouchers for the parents to spend at their school of choice for their children, either public or private and I mean every damn penny. Competition for the dollar will solve the problem.
What is really obscene is those parents that can afford to send their kids to private schools, I was one. We paid all the taxes for public schools but also paid for private schools for our kids. Each and every kid in private schools is a direct subsidy to public schools. In effect we get taxed twice.
What about the tax money paid by people with no kids? I’m tired of paying for other peoples kid’s education and sports teams. We should get it all back in cash.
Me too
I have maintained that very policy, since the mid-1990s.
