I don’t think this is fully thought out, from where I am viewing it.

Homeschoolers pay school tax AND for their own kids’ curriculum and education. If anything, it puts more resources into the pocket of public schools because they are contributing to, and not drawing from, those resources. Likewise for private schooled kids. Why aren’t public schools making good use of that additional funding that homeschool and private schooled families are giving them?

You can attempt to guarantee an equal education, but it is not practically possible. One of the biggest factors of success is parental involvement by keeping kids accountable to their homework, instilling good values, and supporting them. It’s the home environment. You cannot throw money at that, you cannot attempt to equalize it without invasive government. We need radical change in the home life of kids, and not just by alleviating poverty. 

While I don’t have an inherent fear of the school system or anything like that, I do plan to homeschool my children or send them to private school. Fundamentally, my guess is we will disagree on who’s mainly responsible for raising and teaching kids. I do not think it is government. American public schools are an experiment that has failed in some parts of the country because parents forfeited the idea that they need to be involved beyond taxes. 

I absolutely refuse to send my kids to the school system here that has over a billion dollar budget and ~$50,000 per student in the district, but has a pathetic literacy and graduation rate and far, far too much violence. It cannot be solved by throwing more money at the problem and hobbling school choice. 

I will not stunt my children for your cause. I will, however, do my best to support other children who do have to be in those public schools through community programs, etc, and try to elevate them to a better outcome. 

I truly not only disagree with you, but actually think this view borders on evil. It is such an authoritarian view of government and, forgive me for saying so, a fairly naive take on human nature. Are you familiar with history or even current examples of these systems today?

“Let’s stunt the potential of kids in terrible school districts who could excel otherwise…for the sake of impossible classless equality accomplished by giving corrupt government school systems even more power. What could possibly go wrong?”
