School voucher system here in Florida. Less fortunate can access private schools.  You must be thinking of democrats who are against school choice.  ;)

"Vouchers pull tax dollars out of the public school system. Public schools still have to pay for buildings and buses even if they lose students.  Recent data shows many vouchers go to wealthy families who already send their kids to private schools [and already have plenty of money.]  Average private school tuition is often over $12,000 per year. Vouchers do not cover the whole cost, so low-income families still cannot afford it."

Not to mention, not a lot of people have access to a ton of private schools near to them, such that they can pick and choose among a plethora of private and public schools that aren't far away from their home.  Not everyone wants to send their kids to a boarding school, like my black sheep bro, who lived at military school. 

How about we just make our public schools better.  It's not like all these private schools are gonna compete to get better and better so they have an endless growth in student population too.  A lot of parents don't even want to send their kids far away from home and a lot of areas only have so many student who live nearby too.  Who the eff wants to be a principal of a high school school with 10,000 high schoolers?  You aren't gonna make that much more money for it compared to a principal at a school with 1200 students and neither are the teachers at that school.  It's not capitalism, where business compete to be more and more efficient and make better products, cause it makes them more cash, nor should education be.

The days go by slow, but the years go by fast.
