Markets form naturally from consensual interactions of goods and services for money. I suppose you could argue the government creating the money allowed the market but alternatives currencies would be created like gold or now crypto.

Good points. We just don't have that vacuum to test as gov's differ. Market forces improve conditions. Motivations are realigned to the incentive of the parent's satisfaction with their kid's education. Service improves

Motivated Parents is everything. Focus your programs on that instead? "Second, let's see what happens if we fund private and public schools equivalently." Detroit get's $14k per student. Cost of living in Detroit is low

You have a lot of questions. Denmark has money tied to the child and not the school district. Look into their system for more answers. Everything is a process of improvement overtime. The reality is, we don't have all the answers ever.
