I would make one modification. Let parents have a tax refund equal to the
cost of schooling their children; then let *them* choose where they want to
send their children to school. They will vote with their money and all the
schools will have to be responsive to the desires of the parents -- or they
vote with their feet. 

This model puts everyone on level ground when it comes to education.
