Having kids isn't required by law. If you can't afford them , don't have them.

But people who "were rich enough not to get much help" could afford it.

Anyway, it is not really about the parents, it is about the kids. The
kids didn't choose to get spawned, so it is a bit harsh to take it out
on them.

And providing people with education is on average a way of reducing the
number of kids produced in the future.
