Do these people really not think there is a fundamental difference between k-12 and higher education?


There shouldn't be. K-12 should be free market like college. Can't afford? Teach your kid at home or don't have one.

Have you not see some of these parents? Education is pretty low on their list of priorities. Also, ability to make a financial decision regarding if/when to to have children seems out of their realm of capabilities.

If K-12 wasn’t required by law, a certain segment of our population probably wouldn’t even bother.

Well, maybe only because it gets them out of the house for a bit.

And watch society dissolve into chaos over the coarse of a generation. Extremely shortsighted thinking all because you think it will save you some taxes.

yes, Bernie is asking the wrong question

It is not, "why not college" it is "should be reconsider K-12 being taxpayer funded".

Agreed. Also, remove the education requirement placed on parents. Don’t want to send your kid to school? Don’t.
