Here is a link to School choice...........I have no idea if this site is left, right or somewhere in between.
https://www.edchoice.org/school-choice/what-is-school-choice/

It's an interesting concept. However, I am hesitant about a system that, essentially, allows money to be taken out of the budget of public schools that are already struggling financially, especially in poorer neighborhoods. Even with a tax credit or voucher, a poor child probably is not able to go to a charter school or a private school, which means they would still go to the same public school that they are going to now, except now the parents of the children who were already going to private and charter schools are extracting their tax dollars from the system, leaving the public school an even worse option than it was before.

I was more thinking something along the lines of removing the neighborhood dividing lines for how property tax is distributed to schools. This would help even out the value of education across a city or maybe county. 

Of course that's just a starting point. I'm sure there are issues with that and it would need to be developed more. But the ultimate goal, in an ideal world, is that rich children and poor children get functionally equivalent educations. That being one of high value and potential economic mobility.
