The solution is not government funding of more schools... The solution is to cut funding of education altogether.
I disagree with this... there are Americans who absolutely cannot afford to send their kids to school, and have to rely on government to provide education for their children... And if government doesnt provide education for the Americans who cannot afford education, we end up with skyrocketting crime... Believe me I'm anti-socialist as the next guy, but removing all education funding will devistate America... for the most part, middle class Americans on up should be able to pay for their childs education... but someone making 10$/ ph at Wal-Mart is hardly paying the rent at this point.

I know families who are really struggling economically, and they're homeschooling. I've met people who have big families living in tiny spaces, people who have serious medical conditions, single moms, you-name-it, all homeschooling.
I'm not saying everyone should homeschool. Educate your children the way you see fit. Charity education can be handled on the local level for the small sections of the population earning very little. The feds don't have to get involved.

Tired of Taxes
(That's taxes, not Texas. I have no beef with TX. NJ has the highest property taxes in the nation.)
