A school voucher system I'd back.
1> School vouchers are equal to the funding given to public schools (including administrative costs), minus the administrative costs of the school voucher program.
2> If a school accepts a school voucher for a student, the school cannot accept any other form of renumeration from that student, with the possible exception of boarding fees.
Done. If someone wants use the public dole to pay for their child's education, they get the same $-value education as anyone else.
Competition exists, but only on the part of schools. The money they can get for educating one student is highly inelastic, they have to compete not for rich students but for more students.
