[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just about done with people claiming they want more for their tax money. At most you pay $15k for your property taxes. Find a top public school for your multiple children on the portion of that given to APS. You get a pretty good value for your money actually.[/quote]

Public institutions are not fee for service. That isn't the model of a government school. Some highly taxed people don't send their kids there. Some no-taxed people send many kids there. Taxes are levied to support a functional school system for the good of the public, not as a service for parents. I think people are questioning whether APS is delivering a good public school system. I am questioning that. When people claim I can't complain because of the amount of my property taxes, that makes me think they don't understand what a public good is. It also makes me wonder whether they're APS teachers or staff who think they're above reproach.[/quote]

It also makes me wonder why there is such complacency.  I tend to think that has something to do with the general  psychological makeup of wealthy parents.[/quote]
