Let me rephrase - I'm fortunate enough that we had the choice for my wife to stay home with the kids.

Couples who need both parents to work to afford basic necessities similarly are not "fortunate" enough to be in that position. Some folks, while fortunate enough to be in that position choose to have both parents work full time.
I'm of the belief that education of MY children is not just the governments problem but it is also very much my and my wife's problem. It takes an investment in time to give our children the best chance to succeed. If you can still make that time for your children while both working full time, great. If though, you are like many dual income parents who are more concerned with the boat, the cabin and the new big screen TV and yet at the same time bitch and moan that little Johnny isn't doing so well in math or reading so it must be the school's fault well... I don't have much time for that.

Again, you just go back to the economic reasons for this decision.
I am saying there are many ways to raise a child, and many reasons for making this decision.
We won't agree otherwise, and this has gone way off the OP.
