It's that time of year when our "school tax" comes due.  And since we own four rental properties in addition to our house, we pay roughly $8000 to three different school districts.  And what do we get for this money?  Absolutely nothing.

Now what do you think would happen if only the people who use the public schools had to pay that tax?  First off, it would jump from $2000 a family to $10000 or more.  And then people would realize, "No way am I getting my money's worth out of this school!" and they'd either go with private school, which would be cheaper, or homeschool.  How long do you think it would be before the public schools would be out of business?

Just a thought.
