Well that too. But, if the public schools didnt exist, a lot of kids would get nothing. Necessary evil i guess.

You're not wrong about that. The whole structure of levying school taxes and then using them to feed a government monopoly on schools is fundamentally broken.
But as is often said, the perfect is the enemy of the good. Perfect would be school choice, good would be no pedophile warlords in public schools.
Even with school choice though, you're going to end up with funds being sent to "learing centers"
Bad thing is there is no easy solution. In general, parents are no longer responsible parents, and due to the poor economy ( not just today, but for a long time now ), few 'good' parents can stay home, and few have the money to spend on 'private schooling' ( which are also normal biased, each in its own way ), so the state gets involved, and anytime that happens, well, we know what happens.
I think you win.

In my grandpa's times, if you weren't a good student they sent you to work as an apprentice in some workshop and that generation actually turned out quite ok. Nowadays they force dumbasses and troublemakers to stay in school regardless of their ability to learn anything, and therefore they pass through learning nothing - but they waste time they could have used as apprentices in a workshop.
Here the result would be different, they all would end up hooligans, criminals, welfare recipients, and we would fund them via our tax dollars regardless. And an already bad crime rate would skyrocket, everywhere.
Not saying there is an easy answer, but here just tossing them to the streets to fend for themselves would not be it. ( since parents now here are mostly worthless. not all of course, but most, and many that are decent, cant afford to pay separate for school, or stay home and do it )
