Public School Waste of Money

Although this comes as a "duh" to homeschool people, there are so many ways that the public school systems waste our money! As home schooling parents we still must pay school taxes if we own a house, or we pay the taxes anyway through any rent we pay a landlord. What do we get for our school taxes? Not a hell of a lot! When our kids in Florida reach high school age some of them can dual enroll and the tuition is free, although books are not. That's what I get for my school taxes. At least we are not in New York City. There, some teachers (700 of them) are paid to sit in a room and do nothing. While collecting their pay. Which averages around $70,000 a year! Oh and it appears that they get vacation time as well. Vacation from the grueling work of doing nothing. This is what the unions have led us to. Sigh. Please read the article here:
