I doubt they'd get off the couch to make sure their child can get an education.

I think there still needs to be some base of "free" public schooling.

Maybe just eliminate the teachers union, so jobs could be competed for annually ?

I volunteer at my daughter's school. One of the reasons it's one of the top 20 is the state is the parental involvement. There's about one volunteer for every 60 kids at any given time. That said, it's 10 minutes away from two other schools that are lucky to get two volunteers throughout the day for a few hundred kids. Makes a huge difference. But I don't think any more would show up to any of the schools. Some communities seem to work out differently than others. That's why its important to have a floor for everyone.
