They can allocate funding to different things than they currently do.

We really are sort of talking past each other - my point wasn't that it would be impossible in theory (though I think it would likely be practically impossible for a President Sanders to accomplish).
It would also be theoretically possible to alter their political structure to turn the whole country's system into a clone of England's. But it's not the least bit realistic. If you were to try to do this, given the current state of affairs, it would cause huge budgetary problems. This is why I consider it a crackpot pipe dream and not a realistic proposal. Just about anything is possible. Again, I compared it to the 10% flat tax proposed by Ben Carson. That, too "IS possible", which doesn't make it less absurd a proposal by someone running for president. They really are equivalent - "free college for all" is pretty much the left wing daydream equivalent of "spectacularly low equal tax rate for all" on the tea party side of things.

Comment is snarky, but it's true. The public school system in the US is an embarrassment when compared to it's world status.
