Funny, the public schools where I live are quite good. The education I received (and I was hardly alone in this) prepared me to succeed at two of the best universities in the USA.
In any case, if we are not getting full value, how does it follow that the government should do as you advise and cease these activities? Without public schools, road maintenance, garbage hauling, public health initiatives, and the other jobs only the government is equipped to do, you are choosing to live like a third world country. The fortunate thing is that the Libertarian movement makes any other mainstream political party (as messy as they are) look wonderful by comparison. LOL!
