I favor public education. In contrast to my general laissez faire/libertarian views, I think public education is an inherent organ of government. It should be strictly secular and it should be free to all students and paid for strictly by taxes only. Funding should be per student. All teachers paid the same base with incentives for certain academic areas and incentives for entering poorly performing school.s It is such an important function that everybody should pay for public education, whether or not they send their kids to public school.

I have more, but that ought wind your clock.
