If the tax base for that district is very low, then why should they have good schools? If the parents want good schools then they should live in high-tax base areas and low-tax base areas!
Sadly, it is fashionable for states to allocate resources to poor women and men who have way too many children who just use the. schools as a free baby sitter so they can sit at home and watch TV. Middle-Class and Rich children get cheated at the expense of these poor families with five kids. The middle-class and rich kids are going to future tax payers and they get shorted.
I totally agree with this. Why should parents who work very hard for their children share their tax and school dollars going to other schools in the same district that have to allocate money for things like English language learners, behavioral health programs for children of unfit parents living in section 8 housing.
It is terrible that states give poor school districts extra money for what amounts to a free child care service as opposed to wealthy, rich districts where the students will be the next generation of tax payers.
Why should wealthy students who have good parents have to share state and local resources with welfare families living in section 8 with 5 kids?
Sounds like what the aristocracy in the 15th century in Europe thought as well. Born to poor parents? You deserve to suffer. Born into wealth? Great. Its fascinating to see working stiffs voluntarily carry the water for the ruling donor class.
I think #1 priority of this country should be encouraging financially solvent families to have more children; financially dependent people to have less.

No one is gonna post anything better or more accurate than this.

Yeah, let me keep paying for a crap school that my child doesn't even attend just so people like you don't think I'm a mean old 'aristocrat'.
Sorry, but I'm sure most wealthy people will take your ire and make sure their own kids get the benefit of their hard work.
I wholeheartedly support the idea of parents doing whatever they need to do to give their kids the best education possible. If that means being 'stingy' and putting all of their funds into a specific school for their own kids, then I see no issue with that.

Just saying that in any nation, an entrenched oligarchy totally disconnected from the reality of the masses has been the biggest obstacle to progress and economic development in human history. Progress means change. And the ruling donor class dont want change. They seek to entrench the status quo to ensure their privileges and power cant be challenged, generation after generation. That's why a nation that wants to become prosperous must focus on high quality public education, even if the ruling elite in that country despise it.
You children should attend the same school public school system where you live. If you want them to go to private or Catholic school then do so. With that said if a family has no children in the public school system it should be calculated out of their taxes. Also if homeschooled and parents don't utilize any assistance from the public school they should also receive a tax break.

The public schools are their for the parents and district use. They are there for all. If you do not want to use them that's on you, go pay some over priced amount for an education your kids can get near where you live.
It all comes down to parenting, you are what makes your kids.
