The logistics are simple...for every child in the government schools, you issue a "voucher" to the parents of that child. Pick a pecentage...I'd say 75-80% of the "per pupil cost" of the government school in that child's area...the true cost of the school he or she was once forced to go to assuming his parents could not afford a private school.

Those students whose parents choose other than the local government school will get that 80% voucher money, will go where they will. When that student leaves the government school, that school loses ALL of it's government funding for that student. Those parents who feel the government school is a-okay can keep their children enrolled there. It's a CHOICE.

Only then will we discover what "excellence in education" really means. The union monopoly will have ended... let choice and the market decide.
