According to my information, the government spends more than twice as
much per student annually as the best private schools. Reducing that tax
burden would foster a flourishing private school industry.

Precisely. 
Not having children in the first place is the way to reduce couples' tax
burdens. And if couples do become families then they must monitor the
quality of the schools themselves and not say "it's the government's and
teachers' unions responsibilty to keep education from declining too much
in quality"-- because government & unions wont do so. Also long as we
have mass education school-prison/babysitting institutions we will have
declines in individual school quality, with inner cities having the
worst schools. My hunch is that parents do want their 'kids' educated
yet not particularly more educated than themselves.
