I do not agree with funding schools through property taxes either, but I feel as though any meaningful change would be so radical that it wouldn't get done.
Ideally, all public school funding would come from the state or federal level and property owners would see their county tax bill cut in half. Parents would then not receive child tax credits. Instead they would pay more money if their child attends public schools, and those funds would be dispersed throughout the public system.
The only problem - and it is a big one - is who pays for the schooling when parents can't pay this bill? Should the bill possibly be handed off to the child to pay back as an adult?
