I guess I have always been an advocate of fending for myself. Why, when I chose to have one child, am I paying taxes for other folks children for the rest of my life? Who invented this so called school tax? Why not just pay the cost of sending your kid to school? Ya got one kid it is 5K per year. Ya got 4 kids it is 20K per year. They get out of school and you are done.
Zim I agree.Problem is we have to pay for all the kids whos parents don't work or pay taxes.Might as well,we already pay for their housing,electric and food! Aint life grand.

You can pay for them to go to school...or to prison. Sadly sometimes it’s both. And they don't even have to be US citizens.

You sell far more goods and services to an educated populace. Thankfully our forefathers saw the value in everyone having an education so that we could become the most powerful country in the world.

An educated society is a national interest and essential for the defense of our nation. I do not have a problem with taxation for education. It will keep us free and safe. So,,you don't have a problem that your paying the education system to indoctrinate the kids into socialism now.And probly also have no problem paying high school taxes so illegals kids can go to OUR schools free of charge.Good for you,,,your very giving.

Wow, they got you to swallow the bait, the hook, the line and the sinker. One of the biggest things that has made this country great is the free public education for everyone. We are allowing it to be ruined, not by liberal teachers, but by lazy parents who have spent zero time raising their kids. Baby-mommas and baby-daddies, accepting out-of wedlock pregnancies to be view as simply a life style choice, parents who never ask their kids about their school work nor having ever given their kid any kind of discipline, and now we have mommy, daddy and toddlers who never look away from the screen of electronic device. Employers have always benefited from have so many people with a basic education here. If I lived in an area with a lousy public school and had a good private alternative, I would have sent my sons there. They can get a better education because they are attending a school with classmates who have parents that care about them being educated. Many who whine and complain about troubles in a school are the same ones who send chicken manure into the system and expect to have chicken salad returned to them. The states with the best paying jobs are almost always the states with the best public schools.

Somebody paid for you to go to school, didn't they? Nothing in life is really free for most of us. And school boards need to be held accountable for where the tax money goes-Check into how much more is spent on "special" education students compared to regular ed students-----and there many, many more student labeled as special than even ten years ago.
The better educated the population is, the better off we are as a country. I didn't mind one bit paying school taxes for the years MY kids were in school,,but once their done,Why should I have to continue.

education is the best investment we can make with tax dollars. if you cant see that it benefits people without kids as well I don't guess I can explain it to you.
if you want to talk about schools wasting tax dollars and kids not being educated that to me is a different topic and one that needs a lot of work. IMO of course
