Milton Friedman proved that State funding of Universities benefits the UPPER middle class at the expense of the poor, and likely middle class also. When parents vote pro property tax, school bond, FIRST they lose control of their OWN money. SECOND, wealthier folks gain better access to that money, over parents interests.
The best practice is home school, who are way ahead academically.
Say bye bye to your school taxes, BUT those just make your child's competition, dumber. That is a good thing in life, sad to say.
If public school is still desired, finding a new school helps, before the State has time to settle in mediocrity.
UPPER MIDDLE: If a parent seeks the better school district, Milton was correct, they exist in the richer UPPER middle class areas. The richer get the tax money.
REGULAR MIDDLE: The best choice for middle class parents is home school, allying with friends, with parental hard work.
And yes, VOUCHERS = QUASI WELFARE.
