If someone doesn't properly raise their child, it becomes society's problem (they go to jail and the tax payers have to pay for them), if the child is raised properly, than they benefit society, therefore society has a stake in it for the kids to be properly raised and that includes getting a proper education.

Ah, yes, the favorite line of you damned government-loving nanny-staters and your tyrant ancestors: what is best for society. You can keep your damned hands off my life and out of my country!
Ah, yes, the meaningless rant of "I'm going to attack you now, rather than the issue."

You call what goes on in these damned government indoctrination centers education????? How many of the people subjected to these places are allowed to graduate not knowing how to read or not being able to read at more than a sixth grade level or not being able to find major cities in their own country on a map?
Very few. Those right out of school almost all can read beyond a 6th grade level, and most can find any major city on a map (within 50 miles or so). Now how many 40 year olds have forgotten much of that stuff because they haven't used it in 20+ years is a different story.

Keep your damned hands off my child! I don't give a rat's behind whether you benefit. If you want to benefit from some child's education then go have your own children and let the government get their hands on them.
I'm not talking about stealing your child out of his room in the middle of the night, calm down. If you want to leave completely individually, then go live in the wilderness where your actions effect you and no one else, and where no one else can do anything to you. But so long as you are a member of society, you are a part of society and society has a duty to protect and look out for your well being, and your child's well being.
