Care to tell us how your education was financed. Unless you went to
private schools that received no government funding and you paid cash
one can assume the government paid for your education.

In fact I did go to a private school that received no public funding
and my parents still had to pay school taxes.
I have no real problem with public funding of education, it is the
government operation of the schools itself that is the problem

Did you go to college? How was that financed?

Lee County Florida public school system is taxing us $20,000 a student
(annual budget 1.7 billion) for a school system that still produces
mediocre results. The best private school in town is cheaper. The main
problem with the public school system, and education in general in the
US, is it is run by people who went to school at 4 or 5 years old and
never left.
