School choice, as defined by Florida, is too helpful to upper-middle-class and rich children. Of course, if presented with the option to take your child's funding and add more $$ for a better experience and outcomes, any parent who had the means would. This is already the system for universities.
These schools are then predominately attended by upper middle class and rich children, and that cohort has enduring benefits socially and economically.
School choice should require that every dollar spent to advantage your child over others is taxed at 2 dollars and that money offers opportunities to underprivileged children.
I don't think any serious person can deny that public schools aren't performing at high standards internationally, but let's not have the solution be yet another system that advantages the rich.
