[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So are they going to get rid of these stupid centers and just have the kids stay in the schools the house taxes paid for?[/quote]

The "house taxes" don't go to any particular school.  They go into a big pot for the county.  FCPS schools don;t get the particular dollars that the people in their base district pay.  It's one big budget.[/quote]

You pay more for a house in a good school!! and more taxes!! You freeloader![/quote]

I'm the quoted poster.  Can't call me a "freeloader." I happen to live in one of the highest property value neighborhoods (so I pay a lot of taxes based on my property value), but I understand that it doesn't necessarily mean I'm entitled to better schools because of where I live.  The schools are better here because parents chip in for fundraisers and volunteer and the kids have a leg up to begin with because of high SES parents -- not because I pay more in taxes.  It just doesn't work that way.  You really need to look into how the schools are funded if you think your high taxes mean your school gets more money per child to educate.[/quote]
