Public school open enrollment
'''School choice''' is a movement initially championed by economist [[Milton Friedman]] and his wife Rose in the late 1960s to allow parents the right to choose alternatives to [[public school]] for their children, and to spend their tax dollars on an alternative rather than on [[public school]]. Vouchers that enable parents to take their tax money and spend it on educational alternatives are the goal of school choice.

Vouchers that enable parents to take their tax money and spend it on educational alternatives are the goal of school choice.
As of 2007, school choice is available only in very limited ways and only to a tiny percentage of the population. [[Wisconsin]] and [[Ohio]] have had very small programs. [[Florida]] has a voucher program and also has an online alternative to brick and mortar public school, known as Florida Virtual School.
In addition to 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 dictorship determines what school public school students will attend, which can be particularly a problem where homeschooling is prohibited or unfeasable and no good private schools exist or are affordable.
