That would unfairly couple the success of their students with their own success /sarc.

The government has a history of inflating anything they offer cheap money for. Housing, healthcare, education.

In our area parents can get several thousand for opting out of public school. That can be used to offset private school tuition. What happened? Private school tuition rose by about the amount the government was giving. It’s no more affordable, the government is on the hook for money, and the private schools have less incentive to compete since they got a 50% bump for doing nothing.

Any time the government offers handouts fraud, waste, and inflation will follow.
