Got our real estate and personal property tax bills today. It's unbelievable what I pay in school taxes and they don't even teach those kids how to write, they have stopped teaching spelling as well.

No kid left behind, means they pass no matter how dumb they are.
No kids will fail any grade.
I assume that those skills are no longer required in today's day and age.......We are dinosaurs

Right, mainly because everyone depends on their computer, computers have spell check. Think about it, how many words are pronounced the same way but have different meanings? It's a shame that the number of young people graduate from school and can't write their name, tell time count change.

Oh man, my pet gripe. I'm sick of my school tax. I don't mind paying for education, Lord knows this country needs it. What gets me is, I pay more than the guy down the street who has five kids in school, and I have never used the system for my kid. I paid for her grammar, high school, and college education ( with Scholarships. ) . Because my house is valued more than his, I pay more. I would like some relief on my tax bill.

As a "Senior Citizen" in Georgia, we can opt out of paying the school taxes included with our property taxes.Oh man, my pet gripe. I'm sick of my school tax.

NY seniors get a discounts on property tax, but school taxes are calculated on the home$ value.

For the record, the amount of taxes I pay for the piss poor services I get really piss me off. My taxes have gone up 50% in 10 years.
I've yet to see a graduate that can't spell their name. Unless they are special needs. More internet "research" from the car lacking clown....smh

That's probably because you're not around many young people. I hate to inform you of this but you're actually the real clown here. I've noticed that you never pass up a opportunity to insult me, it does show your immaturity. This post has nothing to do with owning or not owning a car but I don't know if you can understand that.I've yet to see a graduate that can't spell their name. Unless they are special needs.

Lol, kids and grandkids there...what is it...sizzle chest?? Yeah that's it, or maybe Minivandan? Using taxes as another excuse to not EVER EVER EVER own a car.
Oh I've passed up a few opportunities to insult you, but to insinuate graduates can't spell their own name is fn ridiculous. You're the clown here Jackwagon.

My son was telling me my grandson just started Kindergarden and is the smartest kid in the class, and the school thinks he needs to be moved ahead in grade. Say's he
can spell and do math better than most 1st graders !!!
I told my son that he takes after his grandpa !! Cause I can spell better than most 1st graders too !!!

I suggest you read what I wrote about as I was talking mainly about the younger generation that can't count change or tell time. I happen to know as a fact that schools are not teaching their students how to write, not just their names but writing in general. Maybe one day you'll grow up and act your age but I don't think that you will

in this our year of the lord almost 2025, what purpose does the ability to read an analog clock have to do with any kind, sort or type of life skill? it's not like we have to meet at the clock tower at exactly 10.04pm
making change, i can understand. but seriously, when was the last time you saw and needed an analog clock outside of a courtroom, police station or like big ben?
Every time I go to town ! Never noticed if it works !!!!

it probably doesn't, and they don't want to fix it cuz of tax cuts.
but that doesn't matter, the guy that repaired and maintained it retired anyway and they couldn't get somebody younger to take the job because they only wanted to pay $7.50 an hour with the perk of "exposure" and the job application requirements stated minimum 10yrs experience.

I just as well. I use to enjoy this forum but it's getting difficult here lately. I've met a lot of car people over the years and I never met anyone as rude, disrespectful and ignorant as I have on here. Now I will admit that there are some good folks on here but it's almost 50/50 between the decent ones and the ones who are jerks. Most of you won't agree with me but you're the one's who are giving the car hobby a bad name. I was only trying to tell what I think about school practices and the taxes that we pay to educate our children and all you can think of is ways to run me down, insult and name calling. Is this how you guys act around your kids and grandkids? I certainly hope not. If you're having problems in your life take a good long look in the mirror and you will instantly see the problem.Maybe you should take your own suggestion and read before you hit the enter button!!
