Answer to Question 1

Education generates an external benefit. Society as a whole, including people without children, benefits from having better educated citizens. Such a tax provides the funding for a subsidy that helps achieve the efficient amount of education.

Answer to Question 2

Private decision makers consider only private benefits and costs when purchasing education. As a result, the value that all of society places on the last unit of education purchased exceeds the cost of that education. This is not efficient because more education would generate social benefits that exceed social costs. Subsidies can overcome this problem by reducing the private cost of education, thereby leading to a greater quantity of education being provided.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
