I guess we should all vote for something called school vouchers- This is where the government gives each family a coupon for the amount it would cost for them to teach your child that year in public school. You can give this to ANY accredited school that you want: public, private, religious (any), prep, magnet…
The government would pay that amount to the school and you would have to make up the difference. Of course tuition would only increase (the parents would still be out the same amount of money) but then those who couldnt pay still are as if they “paid” part of it! The schools end up with a little more money (and the average student is better educated in the public school-parents have the choice now!)
The government wont push this now but if we pressure our governors and senators (some of this would be federal aid), eventually the message will be heard. google your representative’s name and email them!
