The free market is the answer, someone should open a private school.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Unfortunately, there is no free market in K-12 schooling. Government schools are price-fixed cartel giving a service away at tuition-free. They are compulsory attendance for students whose parents can not ransom them and compulsory funded by the tax-payer. This guarantees customers and funding. They are also a socialist-entitlement. Finally, they are tax-paid minor leagues for the biggest professional sports.

Government schools suck the oxygen out of the room of the free market.

Can't be repeated often enough. It is ludicrous (and futile) to try to compete with what is really a tax-funded monopoly.

I would LOVE to see the public school defenders defend THIS one.....
