I don't have children so I am not sure why I should have to pay any tax what-so-ever for your child to receive a poor education.
Because it’s a shared societal good, like government, roads, policing, defense, energy infrastructure, and many other things. An uneducated populace would burden everyone.
Beyond that, unless you went exclusively to private school, you also benefited from the system and it’s not unfair for you to now contribute.
Apologies. I meant that point as rhetorical, which is to say that it was meant to help illustrate to the person that I was replying to that other people help pay for their child's education even if they feel that public education is bad or their district in particular is.
