WTF!
Flush your headgear out PJmedia! Yes it's free for 10k a year in perpetual never ending and always increasing property taxes. We have totally forfeited the concept of private property rights primarily to fund this "free" public school system.
This needs to end ASAP. All education should be private with zero government involvement. If you don't have kids you should not be paying for schools. When your kids are done with school you should not be paying for schools.
Rural MO, 15.5 acres, $42.00 per year property tax. Schools aren't the best but aren't teaching CRT. Go ahead and keep supporting the enemy.
Free? It would be expensive if they paid people to use it.

Agree 1000%.
Why pay for something that one will never use, or are no longer using?
Generally I’d agree with you, but consider who is going to be paying your social security and Medicare? Those kids when they grow up. Every kid should be able to be educated for free K-12 all we have to do is change how it is funded. Let the parents decide which schools to send their kids to. School choice. Money follows the kids. As long as the school is effective in teaching the basics, that works for the kids.
There are going to be drop-outs, troubled kids et al, but that is what schooling professionals are trained to deal with.
The schools that are good at it will prosper. The employees of the failures will flip burgers to pay for their BA degrees.
