I have a system that may seem counter-intuitive. Give parents cashback equal to the cost of private tuition, for sending kids to private schools. There are two contrasting angles on this, yet both are true:
A) On the one hand, it looks like a tax-break for the wealthy.
B) On the other hand, it would open up the opportunity for many more poorer families to send their kids to private schools that average higher education standards.
I like putting this question to people. It let's me judge quite effectively what their priorities are. Are they: A) more interested in hammering the wealthy, or B) more interested in helping the poor?
(Of course... such a scheme would need more details to be worked out for it to function. Providing limitless cashback to parents for sending kids to private schools could for example incentivize private schools to double their fees, just because they can. A scheme like this could also completely savage property prices in many areas, which is risky business)
In the long-term, I'd expect that demand for public schools would fall, current teaching staff would migrate to teach in private schools instead, and the cost of funding public schools would fall a lot as a result. All that = lower government spending on public schools, that would pay for the rebates for sending kids to private schools.
