With the money that is being dumped into the public school system ever year? There shouldn't be any excuse for not being able to afford it.
It's not as much as many people think, and the problem is that since it is based on property tax, if you live in some shiny new subdivision full of well-to-do yuppies, you have plenty of money, while if you live in some old brokedown part of town full of po' people, the taxes don't give you enough.
That isn't to say that we couldn't use a LOT of school reform.
