You might not be able to tell your @rse from your elbow, but I'll bet you want your doctor to know the difference.

Yes. The kids in school now are the ones that will grow up to be the doctors and nurses that take of you when you get older, they will be the police and fire fighters of the future, the politicians that make decisions that will effect you, and even the store clerk that you will buy your milk from. Do you want these people to be deprived of a good education?
Paying for the schools even when you are single not only invests in the kids future, but is an investment in your future as well.

Most school taxes are actually part of property tax. If you don't own property you don't pay for this. That being said I think a single pay school tax. The schools educate individuals who, if properly educated at home and at school, productive members of society. They work as policemen, firemen, emt's, and in every other facet of society. Single people benefit from the services provided by these students and should carry the burden along with married people with children.

Yes, for school. Some think day care also, which is ridiculous.
*warning a little liberal may come out of me here*
Having kids in school benefits everyone, not just the families. If kids don't receive an education, then our futures will diminish. Single people will eventually need something from the children who are educated by the public funds.
Incidentally, i am for private school vouchers.

Yes.
1 - Didn't you go to school? Single people paid for that.
2 - Do you NOT want the next generation educated? You're going to need help from those kids at one point or another.

Everyone future is riding on the education of our children. Everyone should pay school taxes..not just the person who owns property. It should be instead of a property tax, a portion of your income tax...a flat rate for all...no exemptions no exclusions...and business in the community should pay as well.
College educations should be free to those who earn it with good school grades and records...the lower your grades are the more of a percentage you should be responsible for. As you GPA goes up your percentage goes down...simple and effective. But then, we never do things the easy way here do we?

I'm a single person and I went to school, I don't know about you.
Plus, I think that our society as a whole benefits from having a population that is at least marginally educated. As a matter of fact, I would go so far so to say that we would have a better society if our education system was better funded.

even nevertheless my husband and that i do no longer, and could no longer, have any infants, I do have self belief that we ought to consistently pay college taxes because of the fact i choose to stay in a city/usa/international the place human beings are properly-knowledgeable. right this moment's new child is the following day's great inventor/scientist/author/healthcare expert/instructor... etc., yet on condition that we are all keen to pay our proportion to help that. with no physically powerful practise, the place is the guy going to come again from who's going to discover a treatment for many cancers or heart ailment until now i'm getting it? additionally, extra practise correlates with extra effective earning which correlates with much less crime and violence. So, yeah - i might particularly pay to teach the infants in my community right this moment than to pay to maintain them in penal complex the following day.

I don't think anyone should have to pay for school. Period. I think everything should be free, but you should have to make good grades. My Pell grant didn't even cover my tution cost and I got to a public University!!!!!!!!!!. That is wrong. I had to get loans to pay for the rest of my tution and pay for housing etc. That is not right!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think we have to pay taxes for a reason and who the hell know's where my taxes or your taxes or anyones taxes are going???? I just know the gov. screws us over bad. but if we didn't pay them, what would this country be like???? AND cops are not really educated ( fire fighters, emts etc) They do not have to learn all the laws, most a arrogant butts. They are not productive members of society.

Did you go to school and receive those benefits?
If so, then by all means you should pay school taxes. Its time to put back in what was taken out for you.

My answer would be no. But, then again, I believe noone should have to pay ANY taxes. Taxation is theft in any form you encounter it unless every single individual being taxed agreed to be taxed. This would require holding new elections on any tax every generation AND would require unanimous agreement from the electorate. Otherwise you are claiming that, ethically, 7 people have a right to force their will on an 8th person just because they outnumber him. HARDLY a basis for an ethical system. Further you would be saying that any given generation has an inherent right to force their will on all generations to come after as the system is designed to make it next to impossible to remove a law once it's on the books.
Taxation, therefore, in any form... however necessary you may believe it to be... is theft.
