As salaries, benefits and pensions continue to rise, someone should call the rich and semi-rich parents whose children get a "free education" at public expense - call them what they are: undeserving welfare recipients. Free schooling should be a right of every student but not the right of any parent. Parents who can pay should pay. Otherwise, taxpayers (most of whom have no children) are unjustifianle subsidizing the rich.

Charge Rich Parents could have used a good public school education or maybe should take an adult edu civics class. Given that the rich and semi-rich pay most of the taxes necessary to sustain our schools, it takes totally perverted logic to conclude that their children are getting a "free" education.
