Parent poster is exactly the kind of person who argues that using tax dollars for school is wrong because they, personally, do not have kids. Because they can't realize that they indirectly benefit from it.
John Green: "So let me explain why I like to pay taxes for schools, even though I don't personally have a kid in school: It's because I don't like living in a country with a bunch of stupid people."
This would be a good argument if school actually made people smart. It doesn't.

If the schools in a given country were pumping out geniuses year after year then maybe you would have a point.
