School Levies - descend2rise - 11-10-2011 12:32 PM
So, the school levy for my district didnt pass yesterday. Pisses me off, escpecially since now we're going to state minimum requirements, so no extracuriculars, no arts, no music, no honors/AP/IB classes and no sports. I guess what really pisses me off is that my school is surrounded by $600,000 houses and golf courses, yet 67% of the people want to turn one of the best school districts in the state into one of the worst. Any of you guys ever have this problem?

How good do you expect your school system to be when it runs off of forced tax money. It just means the system is going down.

My schools taxes are fucking ridiculous, and the place is still a shit-hole. They keep wasting money. That's what's pissing me off... They cut sports for middle school last year. Hopefully nothing worse comes of it.

my district wastes money too. its just i dont understand why people vote no on the levy thats not really that much more and screw us over for getting a scholarship with out any honors/AP/IB classes and ruin their property value when noone wants to live in my town because of the crappy schools. honestly, next year i could get a better education going to columbus public schools...and theyre ghetto as hell...

^ We haven't had to cut our AP programs yet... Luckily. It's fucking bullshit that where you live gets to decide what kind of colleges you can get into. Fuck. That. Shit.

Exactly, A damn good portion of tax money is spent on this and schools don't actually teach you anything. I am against forced public shooling also because of the financial side of it too, not just because I hate going.
Quote:My schools taxes are fucking ridiculous, and the place is still a shit-hole.The government tells everyone that schools just need more taxes to be fixed. Schools get plenty of money but they still look like shit. You will find gum under the desk, worn out textbooks with penis drawings in them and even shit on the ceiling in the bathroom. Its not because schools need more money, but because the kids don't respect the school and vandalise the shit out of everything. Not because kids are bad, but because they don't want to go to school and they shouldn't have to. And because they don't pay for school stuff, the taxpayers do. No amount of money will ever fix a forced public school system because, well, it operates by force.
Good news is there is no way in hell todays school system is going to last much longer. If it does, there will be a depression and our government won't have any tax money to take anymore.
Look at all the money we spend. You won't believe your eyes.

They'd probably be more effective if they stopped trying to throw money at the problem. It costs very little actual money to learn about stuff. The problem is that they have no idea how people actually learn...

i mean i feel like my district kinda needs these cuts so they realize how much money theyre wasting and what they really dont need to spend money on (like maintaining middle school tennis courts and stuff like that that is rarely used) i just wish they wouldve waited till after i left :/
