The teachers are worth every penny ..... and that is why NY has the best school system in the country.

...The teachers are so good that my school taxes are not enough to pay my them what they deserve. I am paying tutors, both teachers in the district working after hours, to help both my kids. Seventy Five percent of my $11K a year property tax on my $450K house are school taxes. The residents of my fine little town pay $15K a yr per student for education here in West Islip, NY. Wahoo!!!! I forgot though, we have the premiere sports program on Long Island with the LAX team being #1 in the nation last year and #2 in the nation this year. My daughters can put that on their applications for college???? I guess I could leave but my Italian/Irish wife has her family here and she would make my tax problem seem small if one day she woke up living in a cornfield in Iowa.
