That's a bit of a straw man, I don't mind if my tax money goes to educating my child's peers.

  That’s great. But there are a lot of political pushes for things like voucher programs trying to pull money away from public education in favor of private options. If people want to homeschool or private school while still supporting the public school system I take no issue with that.

    It seems to make sense to pay for the school you are using. Be it public, private or homeschooling If schools have been failing to prepare students for reality like some Baltimore schools, those schools losing students until they eventually shut down due to a lack of enrollment is the best fate for those bottom 20% of schools. It's bad to support and continue the existence of a school who cannot teach students to meet reading writing math or science expectations/Test scores

      We all benefit from the existence of good public education, even if our own children do not use it. Cutting funding to government programs that are important to society because those programs clearly need help and reform also isn't the way to fix them.
