An issue that our country will have to come to terms with one way or another.

Instead of giving your locally assigned no-choice government school $15k per kid, attach that money to the child to be used however. Hell, cut it by 2/3 and give the kid/parent $5k. Solutions will present themselves naturally when the money is on the table for the taking. Someone in your neighborhood will "babysit" for half that $5k per kid.

Detroit is now 50% illiterate. That would change practically over night, and the "schools" would become ghost towns if every kid had a $5k voucher available and all you have to do for it is pass some basic standardized testing.
