That is incorrect...Take out the frills like school sports and other extra-curricular activities, over paid administrators who contribute NOTHING towards the education of the children, elaborately constructed school buildings with campuses covering large tracts of land and other non-essentials and school taxes could be used to pay for necessities such as paper ,textbooks, libraries and other educationally focused items.Yes make each parent pay the full cost of their childs education.
Darn evil socialism.
Not at all,
one could achieve that same goal with school vouchers for everyone
which is still socialism.
Most parents school taxes paid do not come near to the actual const of educating their child. If they did people without children would not have to pay any school tax.
School taxes in some areas are out of control. Homeowners burdened with tens of thousands of dollars per year in property taxes...For what? So teacher's unions can demand high wages and virtual job security through tenure? So administrators who already make huge salaries can also have virtual job security?.....So Superintendants can be paid in excess of $300,000 per year plus expense account and housing allowances?
Property owners are heavily burdened with high taxes while school boards allow school administrations to throw the taxpayers money away and demand more each year.
Don't you dare sit there and imply we don't pay enough for schools. Fact is we pay too much.
