I'm not an advocate of public education either, BUT it was instituted for a good reason: to serve children who lack parents or guardians who can either teach them or pay for their education. It's necessary.
I want welfare to be controlled better, but I would not want it abolished. What an awful society we would be if we didn't make sure those in poverty received assistance!
