Yep. We are raising an 8 year old but he goes to private school.
Probably the reason K-12 underfunding isn't addressed much here has to do with the fact that the list is populated by a high proportion of us old farts and fartesses :-) who are temporally past the age of direct involvement with K-12 and kids in general. I suspect that the more politically left-leaning, as well as many of the centrist-leaning inhabitants would support significantly higher and more evenly distributed funding of K-12 public education. I would make the same claim for health care spending. Ultimately, a modern society depends on a well-educated, healthy citizenry, which the USA seems determined to make a luxury.

Nevertheless, what I see as the overriding issue that doesn’t get addressed on this list is the underfunding of public K-12 schools. Whatever position any of us might have as what we’d like to see at the college level, it isn’t going to happen with the present situation of the public schools. As long as the public schools can’t provide an equal education for all its students, we can’t expect the colleges to solve the educational problem.
