Dear parents:
My family paid all the taxes required to send your kids to school while educating me and my siblings at home at my parents’ expense. Now I am planning to pay my taxes to pay for your kids while paying out of pocket to educate my own. Over my lifetime I expect I will pay many thousands of dollars toward your kids’ “education” in a system that I consider a miserable failure.
Please do not expect me to give a damn if you are asked to pay a little more for your own spawn. You certainly don’t care when I’m asked to pay for them.
Totally agree with you. We’re homeschooling our kids as well, and don’t have much sympathy for complainers who’ve delegated their parental authority to educate their children to the state.
