I saw a video on one of my treks across the pond about the school system in either Holland or Belgium (don't remember which). All students were given x amount of "money" to spend on schools. They could choose any school that they wanted.

The schools' budgets were based not on a set amount per year, but on the number of students they could attract (i.e., the students were "customers" on which the schools' revenue is based). Their experience in that country was that when the schools had to compete with each other, the quality of education was superb, and the cost of that education was cut significantly.

Alas, in the States it would never get past the NEA - another one of the unions that doesn't do what is best for their employers (in this case the students), but for themselves At the expense of their employers.
