My currently crappy conclusion...

To Conclude
The debate of choice within the education system is a hot one, formed between homeschoolers on one side giving up on public schools, and public schools on the other side debating what must be done in order to improve the education system. Whether the conclusion is a tuition voucher, homeschoolers using their school taxes to fund their own education, or further decentralization of schools, the home-school community deserves a hand in deciding the future of choice in schooling. In Waltz v. Tax Commission, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tax deductions and exemptions for churches are constitutional, as are tax deductions for personal contributions to support religious worship (Kirkpatrick 63). With this in mind, “There is, really, only one method of financing education which can bring about approximate equality of educational resources…This is a return of resources to each family, in the form of tuition vouchers (Coons, Clune, et al.) (Kirkpatrick 72).” After closely examining the home-school community, the history of controversy within the education system, and the need for change, hopefully some resolution will result, whether it is legal action or a continual push towards better teachers.
