[quote=Anonymous][quote]Very likely those people [b]have paid taxes for many more years [/b]than they had kids in school. And, lots of retired folk still have two cars. And, you all spend money. And, once more, part of your Virginia taxes also go to the schools. We may not get enough from the state, but it does come out to several thousand per kid. So, you need to adjust your "tuition" cost down if you are only counting Fairfax County taxes. Do you pay state income tax? Do your neighbors? Do you eat out? Do you buy clothes? Groceries? etc.?[/quote]

This matters a lot.  We have lived in the county for 36 years (and counting).  We had one child (not Sped or ESOL or FARMS).  he spent 13 years in the system.  So we have paid for 23 years of taxes beyond that (and I'm sure it will be much more by the time we die).  I think we've paid more than our share.  Am I complaining?  No.  But don't say that a neighborhood that has many children is not paying its fair share.  It's just a young neighborhood or people paid before the kids hit school.  Don't worry.  You will pay for what you get.  It's just spread out over the years.  Everyone benefits from the schools whether they have kids or not.  Those kids pay into Social Security at some point and also produce for the whole society.  Everyone.  [/quote]
