“primary highlight of public education is that it is free daycare for their exhausted, working parents.”
In their eyes. That doesn’t make it true. Education is, and should be treated as, the backbone of society.

Oh, I’m a teacher by trade. You needn’t convince me of the merits of my job.
That point was meant to underline that the most bankable benefit of public education in the eyes of the American public is having the security of knowing their kids will be cared for free somewhere during (most) of their working hours. People are fucking exhausted from work, stress, and fear, robbing them of the potential of seeing it as much else.
