> So what? Grandma's paying taxes there.

But the parents aren't, and grandma's tax contribution may have already gone towards funding the parents. The system's structured with local revenue; letting people change their locality too easily messes with that structure a lot.

(I pay, for example, about $3k in school taxes annually, but I have two kids in a $21k/year district. If they have kids, I may be still paying for their education, let alone the grandkids.)

> Real solution is to loosen regulations on private schools and provide equivalent tax return to parents who choose private over public.

Yeah, privatization always results in better results and zero scammy abuses of the system.

(One hopes the /s can go unsaid.)
