School choice

[3 MEN AND A BOAT]

First, way to avoid the question I asked you. Second, who's preventing your child from getting a leg up? If you don't think he's getting the education he needs at the school he's at, get him a tutor, put him in private school, home school him, find someway to get him what you want.

I didn't avoid your question, it's not my job or responsibility to tell other children anything. I do send them to private school, I stated that already. I just like the idea of some of the taxes I've paid the whole time actually going toward my child's education.

You have a say in where your property taxes go the same as you do with your income taxes, sales taxes, and gas taxes... through your elected representative. The childless couple pays property taxes, as do those with kids not in public schools. Why not go to your school board and say they need to spend money on 'x'? That's giving you a say, isn't it?

If you consider someone letting you talk and then doing what they want anyway. Then I guess technically it's like having a say.

Then run for the school board. Support candidates that share your views. Gather support from other parents that feel your way. We did when our school district wanted to outsource the hiring of our teacher aides. Parents packed the school board meeting and the next day it was called off.
