The schools in this country are a joke, especially if you live in a metro area like myself. I'm paying for a school system I don't use. Then I pay again for the private school I send my son to, where he gets an actual education.

There is something very wrong with that.

If all parents paid out of pocket for their child's education, they might demand more from the system. They might actually put some effort into making sure their child benefits from the schooling. It's not a daycare people!

if by "bi-annual" you're intending to mean "every 2 years," the proper term is actually "biennial". Bi-annual means "occuring twice a year." It's the same as semi-annual.

Edit: also I whole-heartedly agree with what you're saying. Fuck the state controlling education, that's communism.

a lot of places do property taxes twice a year, but this would be a good one to revive

Twice a year.

Cool though, I didn't know biennial was a word.
