Sounds like a great idea. Thought of this myself!

If you cannot afford to educate YOUR kids, you can't afford
them.

I've read the constitution. I can't find in there where it's
my responsibility. Taking someones house to fund government
schools is just wrong, people.

Government education, the dumbing of America, 1 pupil at a time.

I would like to see a community that decides to not have a public school system. You have kids? Enroll them in a private school, or move to someplace that has a public school system

On the receiving end of government education, there is tremendous pressure not to ask the wrong questions about the system doing the "educating." It is the kind of ignorance that suits school best. School would rather be esteemed as An Institution Like No Other, So Broad and Noble Is Its Purpose We Dare Not Identify It as an Institution Having Institutional Characteristics. Many people bow to this nonsense, dutifully declining to ask where school came from or whence it derives justification for its wanton preemption of family and community life and its aggressively alienating people from historically-rooted religion.

more like 23 pupils at a time! my fiancee is a third grade teacher in a private catholic inner city school. most of the children are there on scholarships from donations by parish. i am always amazed at the level of education she demands out of her students. they are at least two or three grade levels ahead of their public school peers. plus, while per public school student the price tag to the tax payers here in the twin cities is almost 12k, cost of education at her school is something like 4k per student. wake up america!!!
