The parents would be PAYING for it too
There, I fixed it.
They only pay for a small piece of it.
People with no kids, few kids and empty nesters pay the biggest part of the full bill. Utilization is way out of line with bill paying.
Privatize the whole thing and make people think about who is going to pay the kids education bill before the have more then they pay for. And since they are paying their own bills I suspect that some accountability will return to the system.
