Teachers make shit money. (Avg for my area is $45k).
Average class size is ~22 kids.
There are 180 school days in a year (required by state).
Average day is 7 hours.
$45,000 ÷ 180 days = $250 per day.
$250 ÷ 7 hours = $31.74 per hour.
$31.74 ÷ 22 students = $1.62 an hour per student.
~$11.34 a day per student.
Average cost of private school is $14,291 a year per student. (my state).
~$79.39 a day per student or ~$11.34 an hour per student.
Bump it to ~$22.72 a day per student and give it directly to the teacher.
That’s $90k a year, double the normal salary, nearly 3.5 times cheaper than private school, and an incredibly attractive teaching gig.
You and 21 other parents could literally hire and cherry pick any teacher you want.
Laws per state will vary but my state, Va, literally has little to no requirements on creating your own private school besides the number of days really.
The problem is that your taxes go to fund schools that your kids (if you even have any) wouldn't attend.
There should be a tax exemption for people who attend privatized who home school their kids.
No one should be forced to pay for other people's children/bad decisions.
Taxation is theft.
