It seems comparable to the health industry.

Should hospitals all be public property ran by the government or should they be private property or a mixture of both?
If we then have a single payer health insurance can it be used to pay for those who go to private hospitals or only those who go to a public one?

I don't think school choice will really improve education honestly. The reason private schools typically do better is they have better funding for amount of kids and can just kick out those who either under perform or have behavioral issues. If the private schools had to accept all the under-performing students as well, they'd probably compare more evenly with public schools.

That said I support school choice, not because I think it will improve anything, but I just think if someone wants to send their kid to a religious school and already has to pay taxes to fund schooling in general that it amounts to basically having to pay tuition twice which can be quite the burden on a family with low income.
