Sounds sensible to me. I'd suspect the main problem would be that - as in the UK - parents who can afford it opt out of the state system, pay more to send their children to a private school (with therefore better resources and a very pre-selected background). Hence those students most likely to succeed, and parents most likely to push them (and resource the schools) have little or no interest in public schooling, and if anything an incentive to vote for lower taxes and public cuts...

which is especially awkward if you also (as I do) believe that parents have the obvious desire to have the best for their children, and some right at least influence and select that...
