Things may be different in America.
In America, schools are usually funded by property taxes, usually, rather than income tax. That means that a childless couple still help fund the schools (even if they rent -- the landlord marks up the rent to cover his own property tax).
This causes a lot of butthurt amongst kook-libertarians, who don't understand how it benefits them to have an educated public ... even as they masturbate over Jefferson's adages.
