> Therefore, parents should be able to choose the schools they send their kids to despite their circumstances, and we as a society should enable them that choice.

I don't think you clearly explained why they can't already choose.

People vote with their wallets and their feet all the time.

At what price should "we as a society" enable parents to send their kids to any school they want ?

They can, if they have the money, which not everyone does. More people can, if they are given school vouchers. The price is less corresponding funding for public schools per student that chooses the school voucher.

So we are looking at more parents being able to choose schools vs less corresponding funding for public schools. I think it’s worth it to go for vouchers, two advantages being it gives parents choice, and it makes schools compete in a market.
