Blowing all your money on bass boats and not having any to spend on your
kids education is neglecting your fiduciary duty to your ward (a child
is a minor and you are beholden to it, you decided to bring it into the
world, until he or she is old enough to fend for him or herself) which
might get you some jail time, in Libertopia.

The STATE doesn't owe you an education. Your parents do.

Using this premise, does the child have a right to expect an education from
their parents? And if the parents default on that duty - would the child
suffer? (As I understand it, one of a Libertarian state's duties is to prevent
individuals violating the rights of others)

If the state sends the child to school without having paid fees then is that
child given the debt to repay later, is it given to the parents or would the
state pay for the fees?

If the Libertarian state allowed the child to go without education then that
child is more likely to grow up into someone who won't be able to afford to
send their children to school either. Dangerous Catch 22..

One thing to point out here is that these scholarships are ONLY going to be needed for the people that can't afford the 1-2K USD or so per child per year to pay tuition. I of course feel that will be a VERY small set. Way under 1% of the population. (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
