Yes, and it's highly applicable. But how exactly do you fix that practically speaking? Especially if you are a parent trying to ensure that: 1. Your own child get's a good education. 2. Other people's children also have the opportunity to get a good education? Your options for solving #1 are in many ways more achievable than the options for #2 requiring only a certain level of sacrifice on your part. Your options for #2 require political action against: School administrators and Education Unions, as well as having conversations like this. Allowing a parent to use the public education funding to choose where their child get's educated is a useful safety valve that opens up the same choices that a wealthier parent has while also adding a useful incentive to a school district to get their act together. If a school district's response is that they need money and you are hurting their ability to improve when more money has not in fact improved their performance in the past then maybe it's time to stop believing them.
