    Damn. I did not think of someone bringing this up. I would rather not have this debate. I suppose better wording would have been "should education be publicly funded."

    Yes it should be publicly funded for the same reason cigarrets should be taxed. The state should do the bare minimum to encourage good behavior within personal choice.

    Depriving public schools of money is not the answer (vouchers and no child left behind). If the average family were to exercise a voucher option they would still have a hefty tuition bill to pay afterwards anyways so it's not even an economical solution.

    Americans are in deep deep denial of the looming education crisis and that stems from the inbred notion in children that they "don't need to know that much". It's vaccant parenting that is driving this problem, thus classroom performance and creating ambivalence in teachers.

    Public schools are not the problem.
