The cost per student would NOT go up, actually. Less students = less supplies/ teachers/ support staff etc = less cost per student. And again, in that most of the money comes from the fed the property tax money lost would be insignificant in that that money wouldn’t be needed for the student that went private, but the fed money would remain virtually the same

No. Rather than waste my time explaining basic economics to you, ill simply point you in the direction of cost curves (hint: they aren’t linear) and economies of scale. To explain slightly further: The idea that 30 students (the size of some rural grades) require 1 teacher does not mean that 15 students require 0.5 of a teacher. At a certain point, assuming your program is successful whatever children remain at a public school will not be covered by their parents tax’s alone and you will indeed be paying for their education, along with me, like it or not. Or you can simply get rid of the right to education which I highly suspect is your end goal regardless.
