OK, when all public schools get abolished, then we can talk, but given the way the system is set up, his boy is legally entitled to an appropriate education.

If the public schools are ever abolished and we get to use our property taxes for school choice, my family will have a whopping $800 a year extra with which to educate our two children. Forgive me for not getting too excited about that prospect. LOL

And it's not a monopoly. We all have choices. You've made alternative choices, one of my children is in a non-traditional school setting. There ARE choices out there.

DO you think that advocating MORE of this ENTITLEMENT mentality will HELP abolish this sewer pits posing as education? It's lack of thinking like this that grows the cancer of public schools. You have the ENTITLEMENT mentality! I wish YOU would see THAT for starters. No one should expect society to pay for HIS COLLEGE education.

If she has the $$$ for an attorney, surely she can scare up a measly 9K for his education. COLLEGE is NOT a REQUIREMENT for ANYONE!

Well, I'd get a tad MORE excited after paying over 25K for PUBLIC SCHOOLS where I live. Just because you have cheap taxes doesn't mean everyone else does. Imagine what you could do with your share of taxes - perhaps a BETTER school?

Yes, the public school system has a monopoly!
We LITERALLY pay for it. I find this very unfair. We pay taxes up the gazoo and then shell out MORE money to give our child an education rather than indoctrination at public schools. WHY should I have to pay MORE for her education? WHY can't I have the property tax dollars and have THAT pay for her education. In short, I'm sick and tired of subsidizing indoctrination via the NEA as kids get dumber every year. I'd also like to see OTHERS that can't afford to do what we do, private school, have THAT CHOICE - MANY want it. But your outlook is very common ... .
