Cleveland, Ohio Lines: 14 However, if public schools are eliminated, then the resultant tax drain on the parents will be lessened, easing the crunch. (I come from a lower-middle class background, and went to private schools for all but three years of my education, as did my brothers and sisters.) But some people wouldn't have the opportunity to go to school at all. We would have lower-priced schools for folks with not much money, and these would probably be inferior in quality to higher-priced schools. People without money need skills, so that they can work and contribute, instead of not working and uncontributing. Dave Decot
