Good post, Michael. I largely agree with what you say. re the ‘free market’ version of education, I’d prefer to be free of Gov intervention altogether, tbh. Without tokens, just cash (or gold!). Escaping the national curriculum is possible, as can be seen in the growing ‘unschooling’ movement. See Gatto’s classic “Weapons of Mass Instruction” for an overview of the philosophy.
Nice post. I should have read this prior to the previous one I commented on. (I read fast) I agree with most of your points. I hesitate to push for vouchers in education though. Currently we homeschool our children and I see most voucher programs as a recuperation scheme. But that is a long conversation with significant nuance.
From my experiences there are always strings attached. In Arizona you have to take tests and submit to inspections. Personally I would prefer the state to be completely unaffiliated with education even through a tax/payment scheme. With that being said, we certainly agree the education system is not acceptable.
I do not know about that, but we are both looking in the directions of a solution which is what matters at this point. We just need to have more people realize there is a problem that way we can eventually get to that critical threshold to cause real change... in all avenues.

If you homeschool, you redeem the voucher for yourself.

That's actually a pretty good idea! Probably better than what I suggested.
