You're entitled to choose a non-public school, to want to divert that public resource to yourself How is that? In the US schools are paid for via property tax. You pay the same property tax to the school whether you have 0 kids in the public school system or 100. If you choose to pay for private school, you still pay the same amount of tax to the public school system even though you aren’t using it. Only some states have a “voucher” system that lets you have your student’s fees redirects from public school to a private school. About 70% of states don’t have any voucher system so there’s no way to redirect your public school funds to a private school.
