Stupid in America

The Belgian method is interesting. Each kid has a dollar amount attached to them and that money goes to whatever school they attend, rather than sending money to schools based on district and forcing kids to attend in their home district.

So if the school sucks, kids go elsewhere, taking their money with them and that school shuts down.

I'll watch the video when I get home, but for the most part, public school funding isn't much different than what you described for Belgium. States, of course, determine how public schools are funded and I'm more familiar with California than other states. LAUSD get's so much money allocated per kid that goes to the school that the kid attends. If the kid changes school, or even ditches, the school loses money.
