You can't imagine any ways to help people get educated without robbing others? What about sharing, charity, volunteerism? I would gladly donate books to a free (not "tax"-funded) library-- and I have a lot of books.
Or, why not donate old eReaders and compile a list of free educational eBooks available for download (Project Gutenberg, maybe?). Or take up a collection to help people buy eBooks if the ones they need aren't available for free.
I would be glad to help someone learn anything I know well enough to teach. And I wouldn't rob their neighbors or force them to show up when they are asleep or have more important things to do.
Government schools only help people educate themselves by accident. Mostly they indoctrinate and make people believe in the superstition of "authority", and train them to be triggered by bells. Government ("public") schools are anti-education and need to die.
Even if I can't think of any way to convince a woman to have sex with me, rape is still wrong. No matter how important something is, nothing is important enough that it justifies theft or aggression. Nothing.
That's awfully generous of you to donate all your books, and maybe you have a utopian point in there that people might be more generous if things weren't "supposed to be taken care of by the government". However, I think that is completely unrealistic, in part because many people are naturally cheapskates. Even if people do make donations and volunteer, those are bound to decline during lean times, or in poor neighborhoods. Teaching is a full time job, and people like to be paid for those. Taxation also helps even out the burden of funding public projects, so contribution is based on how much you earn, not how much you feel like giving.
I'm glad I got up early and went to school. It taught me how to read, write, type, think critically about science and history, socialize, and put forth effort when things are difficult.

Both of which are mainly caused by government regulations destroying the market.
It doesn't need to be. Everything a kid needs to learn can be learned in a small number of hours. All the rest of the years in school are wasted-- unless you like the government extremist indoctrination they get. That's what takes so long.
A lot of those projects I can't afford, don't use, and don't want. Why can't I opt out? I'm not asking to get anything for free; I'm perfectly willing to pay for what I use. I just want the option to opt out of the things I don't want, and to shop around for the deal I like best on the things I do want. I don't like being forced to use your monopoly.
Yes. many people come to believe that because they were abused in a certain way, everyone else should be abused similarly.
School didn't teach you those things, even if you incidentally learned those while being schooled. The schooling was utterly unnecessary for you to learn.
I wouldn't even try to force you to give up anything. You like it, you keep it, and join with the others who feel as you do to pay for it. Just stop demanding everyone else finance your wishes at gunpoint. There's nothing I want bad enough to rob you to pay for it. Nothing.
