Parents today see the public schools as free day care centers. They LIKE the free day care, so they feel more money should be spent to protect it.
It has nothing to do with education. It has to do with free baby sitters. They don't want to lose them. Without schools, they'd have to pay for it themselves.

I think we should make it harder to graduate high school. In the old days a lot fewer people finished. Now its considered a right but a kid can graduate without the skills a degree is supposed to demonstrate. Toughen it up.
