Boom.: via Flickr.com/Genevieve 119  Public education does not exist for  the benefit of students or the benefit  of their parents. It exists for the  benefit of the social order.  We have discovered as a species  that it is useful to have an educated  population. You do not need to be a  student or have a child who is a  student to benefit from  public education. Every  second of your life, you  benefit from public education.  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  John Green Boom.
