Just like the "Current Thing," getting people to think outside the parameters they are given is an exercise in frustration. Getting a parent to realize that they could receive an exponentially better outcome for half the expenditure, and further, that they could pay for it themselves without government's help, is a daunting task. I believe there can be no incrementalism, mainly due to the fact that people's memories are too short. In 5 years, they will be back to building the system again. It is better to force everyone out of the system COLD TURKEY, demolish the machinery, then let the free market solutions rush to fill the vacuum.

Of course I'm not talking about the boutique schools of the super-rich like DC's Sidwell Friends (~$50K/year), etc. But all else equal, any random student is likely to get a better education at Our Lady of Interminable Flatulence than Public School #99 in the big city, and at considerably lower cost.
