That said, I'd agree that we don't know much about how this would work relative to status quo, so we should only proceed after thorough experimentation.

Poorer parents can secure outside financing and use what they receive (by virtue of this proposal) from their children to service their own obligations.
I think we should invest more in gifted kids. I'm all for redistribution for less unequal consumption, not sure why we should do it for schooling.

Can you elaborate on why you think that proposal will be inappropriate for "[providing] at least some modicum of equality of opportunity [for children]"?

And we should do this for other costs of raising a child as well.

If every child ought to go to school, we should allow parents to endow their kids with debt/equity like obligations to pay back schooling costs approved by prediction markets settled on whether the kid would later choose to continue existing/commit suicide.

I agree with you on the "DOE vs no DOE" scenario. But here's what I think about schooling in general:
If schooling is an investment rather than consumption, we should be thinking about the issues with financial markets that leads to insufficient education financing rather than redistribution.

Wouldn't the prices reveal the expected property value improvement from the proposed investment, which could be expensed if it occurs?
Idea 2. Do the same thing for investments by others and use that information for positive externality subsidies.

Idea 1. Use prediction markets to estimate the property value improved by the owner. Specifically, securities that pay proportional to the property value conditional on an investment proposed by the owner either occurring or not, where the government were to randomly call off some proposals.
