Living in a society there are some social responsibilities. The future generation is going to lead this country, politically, socially and economically. I for one would like every child to receive the best education possible. Look at Asian countries who send their children to school over 300 days a year. They are outpacing us. Innovation is what drove this country and education needs to be fostered to continue to drive us.
Sooner or later you will need a doctor, who is educated in some public system. Your coworkers are educated in a public system. Without public education, there would be no NASA or someone to build your 'field trip bus', much less design it. These roads, bridges and buildings you enjoy were designed and built by people with a public education.
I am going to assume you where not educated in public schools, I was. I did not have the chance to college right after High School, I am going to a public college now working on my degree. I have a great job and for the record I pay a lot of taxes. I also have significantly more than $100 left over at the end of the month. I guess my public education must have let me down.
