A parent being uncaring does not remove the parent's responsibility
for educating his or her child and, therefore, being uncaring
is irrelevant.
There may very well be public good in having an
educated populace but that doesn't mean government should be put
in charge of that education - particularly given the dismal failure
that these government indoctrination centers (public schools) are.
State schools should have been gone a long time ago (as should have for-profit schools).

That being said, not all schools (whether we call them "public" or "private") are a complete failure.

is just another government program that doesn't work very well."
