tedjulie1, I am not sure if you realize what that would mean. Let's say your family makes $85,000 a year so you are in the 25% fed tax bracket and let’s just say a 6.5% state bracket. 25% of state taxes and .025 of fed taxes go towards education.
That would mean $1921 dollars of YOUR money goes towards his education. Let's be real, that would not get you very far. Public education needs serious help, but just giving you the money you pay in is NOT the answer. Most kids would end up failing.
Enable schools should be geared to the smartest kid in the class. That's why the UK beats the US in academics hands down. We gear to the lowest common denominator. It's embarrassing.
The state should give people their tax dollars back to chose ANY school they see fit for their own child. "We the People" should have the right to chose. Government needs to get out of the way.
Continued: The state should give people their tax $'s back to chose ANY school they see fit for their own child. "We the People" should have the right to chose. Government needs to get out of the way.
Families should be allowed to attend ANY school they wish... including private. Tuition at many excellent private schools is LESS than the amt the state provides p/child, yet the education is top notch! The state could learn from them.
Pros on Boundaries: Useful Organization, Settled School Zone, No never - ending kids coming into a school Cons on boundaries: Seperated from family, excluded from area zone, Bullies continustop bullying one person, successful moving choices,contactin
To add to my earlier comment, I think neighborhood schools shd be limited to people in that area. One thing I love about our school is that my kids will be with the same kids through high school. Our kids have a great sense of community.
I think there should be a combination of both magnet schools to provide other programs and neighborhood schools. I love our neighborhood school, but could see putting my son in a more math based program because that is where his interests/talents are
