There are kids that graduate public school that cant read, do basic arithmetic, or even find their state on a globe. Heck some of them even graduate college.
I agree with Karen.

I dare say that there are also home-schooled kids who can't read, do basic math, or find their state on a globe.

Personally, I don't mind paying taxes that support schools. I've been a volunteer in a local school library for 10 years, and I see what can happen when a dedicated teacher works magic on children. To instill a love of learning in a child is a God-given gift.
