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!

What about the yearly 'referendums' and the million yard signs that urge you to VOTE YES 'for the schoolkids' that's definitely not just a desperate attempt by your state to keep pace with its out of control public employee pension system?

Those teacher work so damn hard for 9 months of the year though they deserve it.

Me too, and it doesn't seem to stop a damn thing from getting through.

Our last two school levies actually failed much to my delight.
