Since monopolies have no incentive to improve will competition from school choice improve public schools?

[Kelley1]

The average cost of public school is $18,000 per year per student. Per-pupil spending on students with disabilities is roughly 1.9 times that of typical students. Because a disproportionate share of students with disabilities are enrolled in regular public schools, this increases public school spending relative to private schools.

Therefore, should parents be given and average of $12,000 annually (2/3rds the cost of public school) if they choose to home school or send their children to religious or private schools.

Since student attending home, religious or private schools would reduce their funding, public schools would be incentivize to improve.

Government schooling is about propagandizing the population, not about critical thinking and education. If students are educated by other groups outside of the watchful eye of Big Brother, other interests may be priorities such as faith or family. A truly horrific thought for oligarchy and the Statists.

Yes. And that's why the teachers union is screaming against it. Then they'll have competition and ha e to work harder

You don't understand the way this works. Religious or private schools can provide really poor education and there will be nothing to regulate them at all. They will become appealing because of their low prices, but other than that, there is no reason to believe that they're going to provide a better education than public schools do right now. They are far more likely to provide even worse education.

I understand people need choice.

[RedInnocent69]

Nope. That’s not how education works
