Well,
i) You could choose schools that embrace your values without all schools having the same values.
ii) Competition would make education cheaper, and lower taxes would make it easier to afford.
iii) Moar freedom.
iv) Smaller workload for government allows for focus on other areas.
EDIT: Plus, all the economic benifits of teachers' wages remaining in the private sector, and the fact that the education industry would be more efficient.

The one that I can't agree with the most is probably the Department of Education thing, specifically abolishing it and giving full power to the States.
So what does the NS General community think about this? After all, the Department of Education did do some stupid [REDACTED] like pass No Child Left Behind or focus on the Self-Esteem movement a decade ago. But on the other hand, the Department of Education does facilitate education on a federal level.

Far as I'm concerned, private education is a lot better than public. The transition from public to private would be expensive and difficult, and would put a lot of people out of work, but the country'd get over it. On the long run, the benifits of private education would outweigh the cost of the short-term economic damage done.

I can do that now. It isn't like public schools function under a hivemind. There is no Great and Powerful Oz dictating what every public school must value.
Nope. Because education doesn't function in that kind of marketplace. Results are not observable until potentially decades after the student has completed their education. By having schools funded by all tax payers, it becomes cheaper for each person. By going private, those without school-aged children will no longer be paying into the system, resulting in a larger burden for each student a family must educate. This burden would multiply based on how many kids a family has (with low SES families being most likely to have large families).ii) Competition would make education cheaper, and lower taxes would make it easier to afford.
How so? Are you able to transport to any private school you want? There are still significant barriers: how many schools can the average town actually support? What happens when a town has too small of a population to make a school profitable?iii) Moar freedom.
iv) Smaller workload for government allows for focus on other areas.
