We should view government as the service provider of last resort. If you can't afford private education & security, you have public schools and police. Problem is government charges us for its services even when we don't want them, reducing our financial ability to choose.

Where does the money come to provide to those people who can't afford those things? Tax their income? So a segment of society falls into disrepair, and the cost is insurmountable as pain, suffering, and dissidence kicks down your door. Opportunities for all must advance.

Same place it comes from now. Tax everyone, give everyone $15k/yr per kid for school, charge $15k/yr for public school, let everyone decide where to spend their education check. Some will go for public, others will go to a better $14k/yr private and keep the change.

Federal (public school are only 8% federally funded) or state tax dollars? Wouldn't the quality teachers migrate to private schools leaving people in regions of poverty with even less education? Also, separation of church and state would be difficult to maintain.

From experience, I have seen the difference between state and private universities. The state, publicly funded, had 1 great professor out of ever 5 while the private, much more expensive university the ratio was 4 out of every 5.

Actually I can attest to that. Grew up in private schools in India. Public schools are not developed here at all. School system here is basically you get what you can afford. All good teachers fled to the highest paid priv school leaving the public schools in REALLY bad cond
