Eh, you're just creating straw men to attack. No I don't support the government kicking old people out into the street, that's not what I said and that's not what public schooling does.

The problem is that, in the US, it does create those problems.

Most of our government schools are funded via very costly property taxes. If you own a house, you must pay >$1,000/yr in taxes which go towards the school district. If you fail to pay those taxes, the government can do some nasty things to you. Since the cost of education keeps rising in America, so too do property taxes.

America isn't the world, Americas system may be broken but that does not mean that the idea of public schooling is broken.
