Why should I pay *MY* taxes to a school/school system that isn;t good enough to teach my child well enough?

I'm a person that sends my kid to a proven school, proven to challenge smart kids, proven to give kids excellent chances at getting superb secondary education.

Why should I pay for a school system that doesn't even have a 50% college entrance/acceptance rate, due to grades and school reputation.

IOW, my public school's High School kid graduating with a 4.0 average slides down to about a B- (effectively). Where as the school she is graduating from right now gives her extra points for even a B+ average (she has an "A" average) to get into Colleges and Universities.

Why should I have to pay twice for my kid's primary education?

Box, you talk of Communism/Socialism as being a bad way to go... but now you pull this? WTF, are you really a closet Obama supporter?

Nobody wants to do anything about it... the local school board is adored by people hear.

Everybody wins. Nobody loses... everybody gets a trophy or ribbon.

Grade could well be in "Rainbows, Zebra, Lions and Tigers" for all the good they do.

You forget Michigan has horrible schools. Probably some of the worst in the nation... and just recently a law was passed to allow those asshats that run the Michigan Board to take over school districts and dissolve any organization and combine them with neighboring school districts.

It doesn't work to "do something about it instead of opting out and then whining about it". Everyone is out of work here, everyone hates taxes, everyone is just fine with little Jeffy getting a Rainbow++ on the paper they copied off the internet. Don't you *DARE* say what horrible parents they are for not pushing their kids.
