I think you’d be surprised what some effort could accomplish.
Privatizing education isn’t going to happen in the foreseeable future.
The minute you assume you will lose elections is when you definitely will lose them
Well?...Then why not use that effort to abolish government schooling? The minute you assume you assume something is impossible then it definitely is impossible.
By the way, have you seen those videos of parents standing in long long lines waiting for the lottery for charter schools? Have you seen the crying parents and children who have lost their chance to escape the government school concentration camps? Surely, there are parents who are ripe for change.
Solution #1: Vouchers, tax credits, and charters could be used to build the infrastructure needed for full privatization. Teachers and principals would be allowed to move to charter status as has happened with Green Dot charter schools in California. Gradually the amount of the vouchers would be reduced, and parents would be expected to take on the full responsibility of educating their own children. Tax credits would fund the poorest. MASSIVE tax reductions would accompany the privatization of K-12 education.
Solution #2: Private conservative education foundations would be formed by wealthy conservatives. The foundations would offer grants to teachers willing to open one-room schools in their homes or small rented spaces. The foundations would certify the teacher, approve the curriculum, test the students, run community-wide sports and arts programs, and organize more complex science labs. The foundations would organize the parents to lobby for complete shut down of government K-12 schools and MASSIVE tax reductions.
