Except...I can choose the school my kids go to and participate in deciding what they learn.

I can choose the school

You don't get to choose what public school your kids go to in the US. Now if you're rich enough you can send them to a private school, or if you have the free time you can home school them but you still have to use and approved curriculum. Your options are still limited and you will be punished for not picking one.

You can move to a different school system. It's not terribly hard. And if you don't like the approved curriculum, you join the school board, and you work to change it. Otherwise, yes...we require our kids to go to school.

Ah yes, moving is always easy in the US especially with how affordable housing is right now!

Also it's great that public schools are funded by property taxes so poorer areas always have way shittier schools. Poors should just buy a house in the nicer countries.

I am sorry did you just say moving was an option for school choice? Do you know how much that costs?
