The money for public education comes from taxpayers. Municipal entities collect taxpayer money and are charged with providing educational services to the public's children. This does NOT mean that the dispersion of those taxpayer funds should be directed exclusively, or even largely to government-run institutions. Money should follow the student in a similar manner as we provide financial aid for college. The government does not mandate that loans be directed exclusively to government-run colleges. Rather, the loaned money can be used at whatever post-secondary institution best meets the students needs. Only when we retire the archaic and failed monopolistic model of government being both the collector of taxpayer funds, as well as exclusive vendor for service delivery will children and parents have a genuine choice of which school best meets their needs.
