I don't. Libertarians believe in personal responsibility. If you have so many kids that you cannot support them, then you have a problem. To be precise, true Libertarians do not beleive in public education at all.

We are also leaving out the fact that some charities might give money to these families; in fact, some could be made for that purpose.

B) Ever heard of the United Federation of Teachers? That is not an easy dragon to slay.

It's like I said: the goal of these public schools is to provide eductation to the poor. The idea behind making money in them is the massive volume of children would make up for the low entry cost (hence, most of these would probably be in highly urban areas).

The goal is to ensure education for everyone without wasting our tax dollars on something we may never use. It also discourages large amounts of children, thus keeping the population at least somewhat in check.

Remember, this is just the backup plan. The government only get's involved where felt necessary. I would much rather see private schools aimed at the poor, or at least see them compete with the government.

With regards to the UFT, let's be honest: if we implemented this immediately, we would have a lot more troubles than them. Like what to do with those public schools that aren't necessary anymore. This thread is more designed for theoritical changes in the government that you think would make it better.
