It’ll make our house easier to sell ... but I would not defend this as “good” for anyone. It’s the quality of education that I am concerned about - whether property taxes are HIGH or LOW. It’s HOW the money is spent. If kids aren’t being educated and indoctrinated instead - public schools are are not properly serving the community and that is the ISSUE.
How the money is spent is up to the people in the community. Unfortunately, we live in an age in which the middleclass feel the same sense of being disenfranchised that was once reserved exclusively for the poor.
Note the use of the term “government schools.” As if the local school board — made up of neighbors, co-workers, etc. in many communities — was some sinister monolithic group of strangers with uncertain motives in a distant city.
