[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School quality should not be tied to the property taxes in the immediate area - but they are. The fact that you think you should get special treatment because you have more money is elitist and entitled. You don’t pay elevated taxes.

You pay taxes proportional to your income and your home value.[/quote]

It's undeniable that school quality is related to the demographics of the people served.  Schools with high FARMS will have different attendant issues than a school with highly motivated, involved parents with access to additional resources.

The fact of the matter is that public institutions do tend to cater somewhat to the needs of the affluent due to the disproportionate resources that they have that allow those people to be more involved in their children's schooling. That's just the reality.

You can make arguments for more funding allocations for schools with more issues, but the educational experience and quality seems more tied to a students class and values than the efforts of the schools.

I would prefer that each school tailors it's needs to that particular constiuency, but that would require moving from a large school district system at the county level to town level government like in the north east.[/quote]
