One idea I have seen proposed to solve this would be to instead of funding public schools, create savings accounts for every student and allocate money to that account. Parents then decide the allocation. Public school, charter school, private school, structured accredited online home schooling, Offset the cost of a montessori school or whatever best fits the learning structure and style of the student. If the student has special needs then the funds could also be used to cover those costs. This could also go to school supplies from approved online vendors. This would put more pressure on public schools to choose 3rd party software vendors more carefully and more carefully consider what they are subjecting our children to, in my opinion. Optionally parents could contribute to that savings account as a tax deduction up to a limit, similar to a health flexible spending account. Philanthropists could also get a tax break by contributing to a batch of savings accounts in one or more localities with stipulations that the schools receiving funds not participate in categorical Orwellian or Totalitarian behavior and the organization would be hit with serious monetary penalties for violating the contracts.
