Oh, such a crisis! Their overly bloated school systems are now losing students due to families moving out of the area. The sky is falling. The sky is falling.

In my county they've already closed four schools for this same reason. I say, good riddance. It's the law of supply and demand, and yes, even the education industry can be hit by it.
Their gravy train doesn't stop there anymore.

Thank goodness I homeschool and don't have to worry about this stuff...until they decide that my daughters butt NEEDS to be in one of their chairs...to ensure the quality of education of course...under the penalty of law and all that stuff... :)

For years, the NEA has urged voters to support tax hikes to help the children. Now, people don't want to live in areas with high taxes. This resulted in less tax revenue for NEA officials. The NEA has reaped what it sowed.

"Let's face it: There is hardly a place a young family can go now within a reasonable distance of Los Angeles that is affordable," said Glendale Unified spokesman Vic Pallos.

Same here in Metro NYC. I have a colleague who could not find a decent house under $400K in any of the surrounding counties and who now commutes 60 miles from Dutchess County upstate.
