clearly we're not getting our money's worth and many of us don't even have rugrats in the system anymore

And...I believe that if you are paying school taxes without school aged kids, you should still be able to direct your portion to the school of your choice. |

I don't agree with vouchers, they started it here few years back and of course you had to be a certain "social economic" population to get them.
They've changed it some and believe it's open to more, however if you're making 250k a year you shouldn't be eligible at all. If they want to do something better they should privatize schools. Hold them to a standard aka get paid more if they do better for example. They build the schools and provide transportation. |

Income has nothing to do with it. Hell, some of the highest earners own expensive property and that's where the school taxes are collected. Turn the education system back to the states as it used to be. And the states can regulate private businesses who will have a much higher incentive to build and staff good schools...it's called profit. |

$7,500 to $8,500 in Utah. We typically spend towards the bottom for student spending.

There is trend, a trend of thievery, which is evident in all gov entities, a consistency that cannot be denied.

We paid school taxes before we had kids,when we had kids in school and now that our kids are out of school,for many many years....I think seniors 65 and older should pay half the school taxes that make up 80% or more of our taxes. |

This is from 2009, was 700+ teachers, 15 years later the number is probably double. Keep in mind these teachers are protected by the unions, and they continue to pay their union dues: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna31494936 Quote:

His school districts were small, by design. He went to a few school board meetings, stated it was the start of sociaiism in our country. At one they were discussing a land purchase for a new high school. Problem was there was nothing wrong with current high school. MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM was they purchased two sizeable lots in the past 5 years for a new high school. He figured it out, it was a scam, they buy land, get kickbacks, never develop the land, and then re-start with another land purchase. The previously owned lots are sold at a loss of which no one is told. |

Exactly. Number of administrators has grown to insane levels and classroom funding has gone down significantly. Oklahoma even spends $22k a year per student. We got our kids out of public and into private and we pay $26k a year for 4 kids so let’s round that up to $7k per kid. The only thing the public school offers is a shitty lunch and bus transportation.

Even thought I pay taxes and a large chunk is for the school system, I'm happy to say that GWiz never attended a public school, it it was cheaper than the quoted amounts in this thread. Except for out of state tuition for Georgia Tech.

I saw the writing on the wall decades ago. Tax's were too high then,
now it is worse. Maryland has always been a corrupt state. I had to move. |

Teachers unions are little more than a Commucrat money laundering operation

Something else is each school gets their finding from the state and local property taxes but they also apply for grants and that money gets thrown into the slush fund . The teachers are the last to get anything , here they cry to the state for raises when there’s plenty of money in the local coffers. |

St Petersburg FL area is as bad as Broward County; on a scale of 1-10 the public schools come in at 1s and 2s. My granddaughter got choked out on an elementary school playground by some emotionally disturbed minority kid on the playground until a teacher reluctantly intervened. By the 7th grade we could see the bad peer influences starting in and crating a bitchy girl with a bad attitude - so it was off to private school and she'll be senior next year and has colleges and military academies reaching out to her now.
Having said that I wouldn't be a public school teacher anywhere, my 3rd grade teacher neice gets saddled with all the emotionally disturbed kids and she's shown me videos of the little darlings going crazy in class. She has to evacuate the class each episode and call staff to wrap the creepy kids in a gym mat. Great learning environment. Much of the first 4 years of Japanese schools is teaching kids courtesy, consideration, manners and respect - something US kids sure aren't getting at home in many cases. |
