I agree with you here. We shouldn't be taking away money from our public school systems. We should be fixing the current situation and making people accountable for the wasted money.

My parents grew up near detroit and they told me about how the state poured money into the school system for years.

They are now some of the worst in the nation, with abysmal graduation rates.

How much did they pay into the public schools? Did they spend as much as public schools around the Washington DC area (best in the country?) And, how much was it compared to what they would pay to private schools?

Yah they didn't pay enough into the system.

A real system is a lot more expensive than what they think.

The solution to the education problem is: spend more money.

See: detroit. 5x was spent for 30 years until the entire system collapsed when enough tax payers fled the city.

This is the result of your plan.
