Quote From: julie1418You also pay taxes towards a fire department you may never use, police you may never call, ambulances you pray you never need, the salaries for politicians you may think you'd be better off without, and a multitude of other things you may not realize or agree with.
The point of public education is that democracy will only survive if the populous is educated. That is the intent behind public education. It is more for the benefit of society than the individual. Individual benefits, though they certainly exist, are secondary.

The intent behind public education is much more sinister. It is to get everyone to think a certain way. Today's public school system leans heavily towards socialist ideals. For instance, when I was in school, we had our own school supplies. We got excited about the first day, had all our new stuff with our name on it and off we went. Today, all the supplies go into a "common use" area and they are shared. Why is that you think? To teach kids to share? No. I will leave it at that and those of you who are really interested can research it.
