I agree on that one. Choice, including the choice to not pay into the system you choose to not use, would not only give people enough money to afford these choices but also go leagues into balancing the monopoly problem that creates the cancer of public school.
Heck even a repealing of truancy laws would go miles into it. It still baffles me that the government was able to just pass a law saying "we own your kids for a significant portion of every day and you will face consequences by not letting us take them" and people just let that exist.
People consider it some sort of magnificent achievement that everyone has to go. That's why I'm careful about saying just treat it like any other service, because apparently people think literacy is what makes first world countries. Of course, the fact that a lot of students are functionally illiterate does not support their hypothesis.
I also think that there would be even more kids running wild if they didn't have to go to school. I don't know what you do with them. I guess you can pass a law that they're not allowed out and then arrest their parents. In the COVID era, the kids have been out, so I guess your reaction depends on how bad you think that's been.
