Very unconvinced with the notion that the parents of kids are unable to make school choices, and that removing the choice altogether gives better results. I believe it gives a high level of heterogeneity that the Dutch might not want to tolerate, but it does not give superior school choices. Removing choices sometimes do help to choose better, but generally the more choices the better.
Lets not put Dutch policy in a pedestal: they have a retirement system that is so pervasive, that once you are 60, you earn more money by retiring than by continuing to work, and thus literally push the entire population to retire at the same age.

You don't get paid retirement money unless you are of retirement age. That is 68 at the moment, and increasing. And then, you get the money regardless of whether you're still working (most people stop).
