I don't think it's "reasonable" at all. Why force your neighbors to pay for your children's education? You brought those children into the world, you pay for them, including their education.
Many couples have chosen to not reproduce. Why confiscate their wealth to pay for your choices?
Seems to me, if we're going to give free education to people, there are more pressing priorities than education. Shouldn't we first give free food to everyone? Then shelter? Then perhaps free medical care? How about transportation to and from college? If kids can't get to class, the free education really isn't of any value. If their tummies are growling and they can't concentrate, then that free education isn't very helpful.
