And in reality, an educated society is much better for everyone. Whether you have children or not, you should by happy that some of your taxes are going to educate our society.
Some? yes.. but not most or all, certainly not enough to cause someone to lose their home and have to live in their car or on the streets. If you give the school district very much more than what they need, they will, not might, waste money. Throw away those computers at the end of the school year, were getting all new ones. Pay raises for the administrators and higher ups. Seriously, have you seen the waste in the schools. Many schools ask for a levy, they want more money, more funding, they need it for field trips and sports programs, it they don't get it, then they will have to shut down that sports program. Scare tactics, your kids who don't have a full understanding of what the school is doing and don't fully understand money and taxes from a real world experance will get their familys in on it.
A day before the voting, they will be out there with signs pushing through yet another levy. I have seen this and made my own signs opposing it. Then have to get ganged up on by students and their parrents, and even sometimes the police all accusing me of being against their kid's education, because I don't want people to lose their homes. It's always some popular sports program they have to cut if the levy don't pass. Schools can hold bake sales, take donations of items and have kinda a yard sale, much like a church sale. Theres other things to raise money to keep a program afloat. Students in art classes can sell their art, pottery, donations from big companys like Kroger, they donate to the Buckeye Ranch regularly, candy sales, sponsorship, saturday morning farm market events, ect.
When I was in school we didn't even have computers and internet. Now Kids can have access to all information worldwide, about anything in an instant. I had to rely on books that were past down from the last year's students and often had scribblings and vulgar symbols written within the pages. I think they have it pretty good now on the education part of it. For that matter, kids can learn from their own home (that home we are worried about losing) with an internet connection, but school is still needed for social reasons, kids learn to interact with others and can do it better in the real world. But that internet, it beats schools and books by leaps and bounds. Now kids can get info from more than just one source, compare and share. With that book, you only have one choice, one way of thinking, one writer's opinion.
