In addition to [[School vouchers|vouchers]] for [[private school]] and [[homeschooling]] options, some states offer a choice, for those who choose the public school system, in which public school their children will attend. This is sometimes called ''open enrollment''.  School districts in [[Florida]] have an open enrollment system although traditional [[dictatorship]] still applies to the [[school bus]] system, and those who choose to attend a school where buses are unavailable are required to find alternate transportation. In regions where open enrollment does not exist in public schools, a [[communist]] style dictatorship determines what school public school students will attend, which can be particularly a problem where homeschooling is prohibited or unfeasible and no good private schools exist or are affordable.
