What if tax dollars followed the student? Where all students get the same amount regardless of zip code and they can choose any school.

- armchairhacker 4y agoCurrently they do, at least in some states This creates its own issues, like public schools not sending misbehaving kids to specially-designed schools, and public schools losing money because students are sent to charter and private schools instead. And the private schools still require more money than the tax dollars provide. Furthermore, issues arise when the public schools suck and charter/private schools are the only decent options: these schools can be openly religious, skip over parts of the standard curriculum, and get to pick and choose who gets admitted. Though, I don't even think giving all the tax money to public schools will help them at this point...

- firstlink 4y agoThis is known as school vouchers and by advocating it you have labelled yourself a fascist.
