Start by getting the Feds out of the education racket.

Okay, then what? Do schools spring fully formed out of someone's forehead ready to go? If schools were closed today, how long before new ones form? What about the loss of jobs - think the economy can absorb that? What about parents that then will need to quit their jobs to stay home - ready to pay benefits to them? How many kids then have nothing, absolutely nothing and for how long? Years? Decades?

Then, how long before someone gets the bright idea that "Hey! we need a public education system?" and is there a country left to form these schools? There is a reason every developed country has a public education system. There is a direct tie in between education, economy growth, and a need for fewer governmental services.

Why would any schools need to be closed?

“There is a reason every developed country has a public education system.”

Strange isn’t it? The only countries I’m aware of that don’t have a comprehensive public education system all have one thing in common — they’re backwards hellholes. Prosperous, developed nations? Every single one has a public school system.
