Exactly. Typical gov’t. We’ll offer you something for “free”, except you have to pay a lot of money for it, the quality is horrendous, and you have no choice.

Good post, Snidester.
I want to know why I have to pay the school board components of Leon County Property Tax every year when I have no children in their poor to mediocre-performing classes?

That is de facto Taxation Without Representation.

Where is the logic in that? I have to pay for someone I don’t know to be poorly educated, and in return I get the promise that this stranger is going to “take care of me” on day? Can I pass?
Just because public schools “need help” doesn’t justify forcing me to help them. I don’t want the service they’re offering.
There is nothing you could say or argument you can make to warrant forcing a person to pay for a service he or she doesn’t want; aside from the fact that this service in particular is of garbage quality.

Wake up teachers:
You are NOT the priority of your Union and School Board…leftist agenda is…not you useful idiots (useful to your union and School Board that is).

Because someday, one or more of those Kids will be taking care of you in some form or fashion. Public Schools need every ones help.

Why should I, as a taxpayer, be forced to pay more for public school teachers? I don’t want to send my child to public school, so why should I pay for increased public school teachers’ salaries? Public schools produce the poorest results, why should we pay even more for their services?
