    Something occurred to me today hat seemed relevant to this thread...

    I was born in 1974 in the South. When I was a kid, home schooled kids were the weird-asses, mal-adjusted, socially-awkward, kids.

    Today, it's the public school kids, and the homeschool kids are the ones that have it together.

    If I was starting from scratch today, with a kid about to enter school (particularly a public school), I would absolutely homeschool, for at least k-8. Not in the old, weird, never-leave-the-house, creation-teaching, kind of way, but in the modern, standardized materials, meet up with other homeschoolers for field trips etc. Kind of way.

    Of course, you have to have a kid go through the public school system to learn that lesson. And the it's too late.

    It's the “atlas shrugged” approach to public education. Everyone with the means should just leave.

    IMO school choice here is a joke.

    Now, if what you mean is I take little suzy and johnny out of the system and therefore get a tax credit, while I'm in favor of that in theory, the remaining indigents would quickly devolve, with a ton of blow-back to my way of life in short order.

    As such, I'd be fine to double-pay for both the government school-incarceration program AND my own kids' non-shitty, non-emotionally-damaging, education.

    I like that. Sort of a reversed Cloward-Piven approach, isn't it?
