Good point 89transam. It's just like every time the government increases the amount of federal aid you can apply for college, the colleges jack their tuition up by that same amount.
These schools will do the same thing. Maybe, the government can start giving out federal secondary school student loans so parents can go into deep debt earlier so they can afford even less to send their kids to a good college!
I think nanofevers point needs highlighting. Private schools divide up society. The K-12 years are the formative years of a persons life. They learn their social skills as much as educational values there. When you divide up to get a "better crop of kids" you miss out on a segment of society. You miss out on the true ethnic makeup of this country and you create ignorance in how the world works. Right now private schools only educate a fraction of our kids. But if you implement this through the whole nation, I think we will start seeing some regression.
