Great for you, but for the vast majority of FReepers, the temptation of a ‘free education’ is just too much to pass up, especially compared to the lifestyle implications of paying the money necessary to put their children first.
Here in NJ we don’t have “free education”; our public school taxes (de facto tuition) are thousands of dollars annually, and eat up money that could be used for a private education or saved to make homeschooling economically feasible. Don’t take my word for it; look at the flight of taxpayers from NJ and the collapse of our private education network here. My town in NJ had six Catholic schools when I was born; all six are closed a few decades later. Anyone financially comfortable enough to those tuitions (or could keep a parent home for homeschooling) would never live here; they’d instead opt for a safer area with more Americans around.
