They are/were in several towns near where I used to live.
People would move into the town, vote for these things, taxes would go up, the parents would leave when the kids were out of school, and the rest of the town was stuck with the bill.

funny story, one of my neighbors growing up was the NY State Commissioner of Education and he sent all his kids to boarding school 
They do where I went to school. Most that graduated were already passing out of freshman or sophomore year of under-grad with the level of education they got.
:oneup:
It depends on the public school system in a given city. In places like Oregon, school districts are autonomous, so the wealthier suburb areas have public school systems that rival any of the local private school systems. And neighboring public schools are often not as nice.
In Hawaii, all the schools operate as one large bureaucracy. There are some ideas gaining traction about breaking down the schools by district and allowing them to self administrate in hopes of cutting out much of the waste in the centralized BOE. A recent article came out here stating that in the last ten years, money allocated to administrative functions grew 3000%, while all other school services went up 40%.

You forgot the first and last part of that.

This is so the city can use it as well. Not just the school.
I'd be willing to bet that the county/city funding for those items are all less than schoo.s
you want your kids to go to school? YOU pay for it, stop making other people foot the bill on that crap.
I'm pretty sure that's untrue, at least in Florida - and we have shitty schools...

Its really sad that most people see it simply as babysitting their children, with an added advantage of maybe they learn something. They tried to do 9 weeks on, 3 weeks off here, but couldn't. One of the big reasons why... "What am I going to do with my kid during those three weeks?" I don't know, that isn't our fucking problem.Hey man, you _know_ I feel that way
As far as I'm concerned, 75% of kids time in public school merely serves to keep them out of the workforce longer.
I meant against any one of those items, but whatever. It's still expensive. Very expensive. And crappy as well. Nationally, our kids fall father and farther behind every year...

In the defense of parents fly, it's the system that has roped us/them into needing childcare outside of the home.
With income taxes so high, many families NEED to have two incomes to achieve the same standard of living their parents or grandparents had on just one.
Yes, I know that's not a good excuse, but it is what it is.
The answer of course, is for people to live more simply....tough for some I imagine, if they make more than their parents (Inflation adjusted of course) but are still unable to keep the same lifestyle they're accustomed to.

But hey, it's okay, we should all feel great that a good chunk of our tax dollars is paying to bomb countries most of us don't give two craps about.
Yeah, god forbid someone not have a 50" tv and 500 tv channels. But hey, I'd settle for eliminating the Dept of Education, since its technically unconstitutional anyway...
