If you going to have public funded education, make it a voucher system where the parents are allowed to send their children anywhere. Make the barrier to entry low, I could imagine 2 or 3 teachers starting a 2 room school house where they teach the curriculum they decide on. Then parents and students can choose what type of environment they want.
