Education is not a civic duty at all. It is a parental and community duty. If we lived with a better sense of family and community responsibility and less civic and governemental dependence we wouldn't find ourselves in these messes so often.

I'm fine with "community" responsibility as well. As long as we are on the same page that a community has an obligation to educate ALL children I'm cool calling it anything you'd like.
It's more about authority. The first authority lies with the parents and that is supplemented by community/church. But, never government. Bad things happen when government gets involved in education. It's not their job and they have no authority.
