Here are few suggestions that would cost the taxpayers NOTHING!
1) Let any child of any age take the GED. If they pass award them an official diploma from their local government high school. This would immediately make them eligible for college scholarship aide, admission to community college or university, admission to a trade training program, or work. Having an official diploma would make admission to the military straight forward.
Savings to taxpayers: More than $11,000/ child for each year he is not attending the local K-12 socialist-entitlement and single-payer school.
Benefit to the child: Several years of extra time working. This could add up to as much as a quarter of a million dollars ( or more) in income earned over a lifetime.
Benefit to the state: More taxes collected.
2) Backpack funding of the child:
The funding should follow the child regardless of the school setting that his parents choose.
3) Allow dame schools:
There are many very successful homeschooling moms and dads. They should be allowed to teach other children in their homes. The health and safety requirements should not be any more rigorous than that imposed on home-based day care.
You are aware that community colleges are "state institutions" and so are many if not most of the trade training programs.
