Funny, first they claimed all we needed to do was OK Lotto to fix the schools... then- surprise!- still not enough money "for the children..."
...so next we "needed" to pass a SPLOST- a special purpose local option sales tax. Hey, it was only 1% more...
We're working on the 4th SPLOST now... they're "sure" that will cure the problems...
BTW, property taxes have quadrupled since then...
It will never end because the money is used for politics, not education. Schooling is really not that hard and kids are really not that dumb. "Here's a book, kid, now read!" It really is almost that easy. (Small exaggeration there, but my point is, learning is like exercise...it's a mental discipline; not really that hard, just a little boring and time consuming. It isn't entertainment, sorry kids.)
The politicians keep telling us over and over how important it is to have an educated population and that's why they must rob us so.....but then at the same time they're bringing in millions of uneducated illiterate people who can't even speak the language because supposedly we have so many low-skilled jobs we can't find workers for, then we have to pay for programs to educated the new arrivals and then we need to bring in more unskilled. Maybe we should just let the low performing drop out and get these jobs so we don't have to import so much labor.
