And in Arizona, you can use those education savings accounts to pay for Prenda micro schools and other ones too. Define micro school. Yeah. It's a miniature school, and there's a lot of different definitions for it, but basically a miniature private school. And during COVID era, it was basically five to ten children getting together in households to economize on homeschooling.
And you can either do it with one of the parents, you can take turns with the parents doing different subjects, or you can even hire a private tutor to do it as the teacher.

So it saves taxpayer money, and most of these bills are passed at the state level. In the U.S., we're funded in the public school system in every state by the federal level, which should not exist at all. The word education is not in our constitution. It's an unconstitutional waste of time and money. But that's only about 8% of the total spending, 8% to 10%.

The other $45,000, $45,000 are state and local dollars. These bills are typically passed in state legislatures, so it's about half of the total that follows the student. So let's say on average $10,000 versus the $20,000 that's spent in the government schools.

There have been some local vouchers that have passed in Colorado, a blue state. There was Douglas County had at once a couple decades ago passed a voucher program. It got nixed in the court by a lefty judge, and that program is no longer on the books.

New Hampshire, which passed a state-level program, also proposed a bill a year or two ago in their legislature to also allow the local districts to have the money to follow the child if they opted in as well. That bill got tabled. That was one that was really exciting. I think that's the next step in the revolution.

But at the same time, if the private schools are doing it for less and if the micro schools are doing a good job for less, do we want all of the dollars following the student? I think it should be equal across sectors. If we're going to spend the money, I think the state and local should follow the student, not just the state. But the reality is it's mostly โ basically everywhere at this point.

Yeah, changing the way people talk about school choice in terms of the money following the child. There's been a lot of legislators on the House floor, Senate floor, talking about funding students, not systems. So they've developed my arguments. And I think a lot of them follow me on social media. And politicians, again, they want to get reelected. They want to look good.
