I don’t know who “We” are, but I’m serious about educating my kids. It’s nobody else responsibility or business to educate my kids.
Exactly ! By "We", authors usually mean "society". But for education, the only "we" should be each individual / family.
Education should be no more compulsory than nutrition, sleep, mobility, or air conditioning. All are things that most of us naturally value, and strive to obtain.
But ultimately, these goods and services are optional. No good reason to force public financing nor government control of them. In fact, there are a million reasons not to.
Same goes for medical insurance, medical treatment, housing, energy, retirement, etc. But the sheeple have largely bought into the notion that those things are mandatory entitlements that government must provide.
