I did answer your question. If you read what I wrote you would see your question was answered even if it was put to you as a question. We are not spending more on education, in fact we are cutting spending on education. Do I thing public schools are good? Some are and some need improvement. You also asked do I think government is the only way to pay for public education? Tell me a better way that would assure that poor and rich alike would receive some sort of education.
again every question was answered
All right, so you think government is the only option then?
If you want my real answer it involves several steps.
First, I want to do away with the prison cartels and this would involve ending the war on drugs.
Second, now that we have empty prisons this becomes public housing. Unlike prisons though, you are free to come and go. This is where we will have schools, medical clinics, healthy meals and useful skill training. Want to be a welder? you need to go to "not a prison anymore in Sandusky", want to be an electrician? they teach that at "not a prison anymore Cleveland". Transportation is provided for those who work outside.
If you are going to be living in a "not really a prison anymore" you will have to contribute, you may teach if you can, cook, clean, garden or general maintenance which is also part of your life training.
There is your incentive to become independent because being dependent is not so easy street anymore. In this country we have made it so a mother of three is better off not working if she has no marketable skills. That's a poorly thought out system.
There's more, but I've given enough to start the argument and name calling already.
