Public schools are and should be funded by all. For the general good of our country and society. I never felt the schools lacked the proper training when I and also when sons went. But now state legislature has cut funding, has implemented school vouchers and allows in transfers. These three items since taking effect have hurt the public schools. With vouchers alone transfers funding meant for public schools go to private ones. So in the end it is a self fulfilling prophecy enacted by the state legislature to gut the public schools. My guess it is do to the teachers unions not to improve education.
If parents don't want to send their children to a public school I feel they should pay for it. Most if not all of the parents I know who do it is because of religious beliefs, racial ethnic mix at public school, sports program or just plain prestige in the name.
