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!

Public money will not solve this problem. Perhaps if those parents, had to pay, even a small monthly amount, they might take their investment in the education more seriously.

Why you'd think that is completely beyond me. It's far more likely that those parents would become even more unhelpful and entitled, making more work for teachers, and just remove their children from school as soon as possible to save costs.

Perhaps public schools should offer tiered levels of class rooms...

So turn public schools into a more accessible private school system, where money buys education and the poor kids get stuck in a poverty trap? Public schools should be there to provide all children with an adequate educational opportunities regardless of their parents. Of course nobody in power really cares about educating the general population - idiots are easier to manipulate and deceive.

Do you think there is ever a point where it is acceptable for people to become resentful of paying for other people's problems?

Of course, but I think it's too common for people to deny what 'other people' give them and naturally focus on what they give others.
