So the state takes care of your kids for most of your work day. Congratulations— you’ve won the lottery by living in one of the few places in the US that has a functioning public school system (or else you’re going the private route, which means you don’t need t congrats to know you’ve won the lottery).

> you’ve won the lottery by living in one of the few places in the US that has a functioning public school system Are you seriously claiming that's there exists significant portions of the USA where children don't have access to school? That's absurd. I'm Canadian, my kids go to public school. In fact, we're walking there right now; a privilege I wouldn't have if I had to be in a car, commuting to an office at this moment.

  Public school is available pretty much everywhere in the US, but it is not necessarily very high quality depending on demographics primarily, which is deeply unfortunate. Most "normal" families cannot afford to go anywhere else.
