The Belgian method is interesting. Each kid has a dollar amount attached to them and that money goes to whatever school they attend, rather than sending money to schools based on district and forcing kids to attend in their home district.
So if the school sucks, kids go elsewhere, taking their money with them and that school shuts down.
Sounds like the real problem is unions and monopolies preventing proper competition, including lobbying efforts to block voucher programs.
It would be great to see the country take the focus they're putting on health care and turn it to education.
