>There isn't the political will to rest the entire tax burden of supporting public schooling to people with kids,
It seems like you are just repeating my comment, but just being overly technical. "You definitely can nuke New York City, we already have the infra to do so. There isn't the political will to nuke New York City".
And just because the infrastructure exists, doesn't mean such a scheme would be successful. If you decided to burden parents with the tax bill for public schools and then they subsequently failed due to budget concerns, I don't consider that a "definitely can". That said, we don't need to speculate ; there was already a time when burdened parents with the cost of sending kids to school and in those times not every child went to school. What you are describing isn't a political will to have parents pay for schooling, its political will to remove children from the education system.
