Wouldn't it be nice if the dolt who made that sign for that poor kid showed just one single school that has to maintain itself by bake sales?
I guess you missed the distinction on that sign...fully funded school, and military has to buy bombs with bake sale funds... Obviously they aren't contending that school's are financed solely by bake sales.
Schools are not fully funded. I have to pay $110 per child, every year, fundraise for playground and sports equipment, and pay out of pocket for field trips, and any 'extras', such as when the schools have in hands on learning modules such as their bridge building classes, boat making classes, etc. The costs climb as children get older, with text book fees, locker fees, and field trip fees all growing as the child does.
Schools ARE fully funded. I never implied or claimed that either schools or the milirary nedd to sustain themselves by bake sales.
That is no different from you paying when you drive on a toll road or ride a ferry.
As it should be. I would be prepared to see more services go 'user pay'. My kids have been out of school for over thirty years, yet my taxes are still being confiscated for supporting schools. And as a parent I experienced what your post says you do now, but, being of an older generation I never complained about it.
So far nobody questioned or challenged my contention that the lack of discipline grossly increases education costs. I am waiting.
