I'd also like to see those WITHOUT children or RETIRED NOT pay money for education. WHY should they? They are NOT benefiting from our current government schools? Those homeschooling or private schooling SHOULD get TAX CREDITS to do as they deem fit. If public schools shut down, so be it. If their good, they won't shut down. If they are NOT, then they should shut down. That's how I see it. Kids deserve the best - out current tyrannical tax system to support substandard schooling with depravity snuck in as part of the curriculum, in NOT acceptable.

Well said, nmh.

Some people say if public schools were drained of students they would get even worse.

I seriously doubt that. They can't get much worse afterall. If fewer students attended at least class sizes would be smaller. That would help the kids get more attention than they do now.

And taxpayers wouldn't be ripped off spending money on continual building projects.

The best would be for all tax-funded government K-12 daycare centers to be abolished and control given to parents to find creative ways of educating their children that actually work.
