Ask the communists that your neighbors put in positions of authority, not me.
The truth is that parents are only paying a small portion of what it costs to fund their child’s education. If your property taxes are $6000 a year only a portion of that goes toward schooling. The median cost of schooling a year per child is $12,000. If you have 3 children you are using $36,000 in the education system and contributing less than $6000. So you can’t truthfully say that parents are paying for their children’s education. At best they are subsidizing it with a small stipend. If the parents were paying for it there would be no need for other citizens to have to pay for it.
