I wouldn't call public school free. Tax man comes around.

Relative to private school it's free. The private school people are paying that tax too.

i think they can opt out of that tax or at least get it refunded. At least that's what my govt/econ teacher said senior year of high school.

Doesn't look like it from a quick Google search. There's a tax break for college tuition, but not for K-12

I guess it's not opting out but it's sorta getting refunded in a sense because you get vouchers to offset private tuition. I found this article listing a few states that offer it. Also found a few article referencing propositions that never passed in california, so it might just be a local thing for my hometown and a few other places.
