People should get the per pupil spending in the form of a voucher based on their local tax assessments.

For example, if my district spends 25,000 per student per year, I should be able to spend that based on my choice for any bone fide education system, including homeschooling.

FWIW, that is how it works here in British Columbia right now in Canada. The teacher unions hate it, but for now we get 50% of the annual cost back to private institutions. Don’t know the exact amounts but let’s say the province hands over $5000 per child. The private school generally would charge $5000 for tuition from the parents, getting an equal amount from the province. Of course the private school can be elite and charge $20,000 to the parents but it still will only get $5000 from the province.

It works well, but opponents claim it only benefits the rich, which is total BS. 80% of those in our school are middle class.
