I want local governments to decide how to pay for schools, ideally by allowing parents to contract with schools directly, rather than relying on local taxes.
What I think will improve education is for parents to be able to choose- and pay for- the education they want for their children...not through taxes, but through a direct payment to the school. I don't see the hypocrisy here.

There is very little federal money "paying" for schools. The federal contribution to schools is about 10%, and that includes the school lunch program.
The constitution of EVERY state guarantees a free public education. Now just how you're going to do that by charging parents tuition, which is what you're talking about, is beyond me.
I have posted links on this information previously; I'm not going to dig around the internet to do it again. You may do a search.
