If we could choose the society where we want to live, we could choose the ones with free education. Of course you would have to pay for it, but you could choose a well managed, transparent one (for example with a public transparent blockchain with all the expenses)

In the context of society at large, the responsibility for educating falls upon the parents and later on the individual in question.

It sounds like you are making an argument in favor of the whole of society being responsible for providing a benefit to the individual. I have nothing against this so long as the obligation voluntarily entered into by each member of the society. The way it is structured right now is not voluntary. You do not have the option to decline this so called "social contract". Some people may indeed have the means to leave the country where they reside, but all must land somewhere and be bound by laws which use force and coercion.

The concept that the government is responsible for the education of the children is a relatively new concept. Historically this has not been the case. Does that mean people did not get educated before government stepped in? Of course not. The current system of education was developed by the Prussians and imported into the USA. It was never designed with the intention of maximizing critical thinking, wisdom, and intelligence. It was instead designed to produce large numbers of people educated enough to operate the processes in factories, but docile enough to be packed into tight spaces for long hours to accomplish their tasks. It designed to produce good factory workers.

The best education is and always has been one on one and tailored to the individual. I am sure that there are many private sector ways to successfully teach, train, and educate our future generations without relying on The State to do so. If we rely on The State for this function, then we are abdicating our roles as shapers of the future.

"If you send your child to be educated by Rome, do not be surprised if he returns a Roman."

-Otto von Bismarck

I appreciate your profile until you start with Christianity. To me it seems like closing the eyes, when someone talks about "all the time" for north America (or the land where the USA is today) and writes as if the roots of this land lay in a respectful founding of a christian land.

It seems quiet sarcastic, when taking into account the history, of how these lands were conquered with no respect towards native American communities. Many efforts have been made (and have been mostly successful) to commit genocide against those communities. I know it is easy to create an imagination of a far past, where everything was great. But this gives no truth to this imagination.

So what I want to say in a summary. I doubt, that there have been large groups of strong proponents of this great vision you describe of voluntaryist or anarchist, which value freedom of the individual above all. But I think it is more important to create a common vision, how our reality could be, instead of heroifying historic persona, where we lack proof of these ideals.
