˙February 11, 2005"AMERICA - WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" It's time to eliminate public schools as theyare ‘nothing' but endless money pits! Therefore, it's time to eliminate property taxes!What's wrong with the "old-fashioned" school ways when there were 28 to 30 kids in one(1) class with one (1) teacher and yet kids actually learned how to add, subtract, read,draw, and, yes, respect themselves and the authority figures over them. I'm talking aboutthe "old-fashioned" Mothers, Fathers, Teachers and Principals and not this "Modern" everso changing - can't make up their argumentative minds Politicians and School BoardMembers "that make the statements like "Merger of Schools and Redistricting won't goaway!" Would someone, with some common sense, let me know why we have to changewhat was working with our schools, back in the "Old-fashioned" days? Does anyoneunderstand that the kids, including myself, back in the "Good ole days" were brought up tohave prayer in school (and, yes, there were several backgrounds of religion in our schoolsthen), to have morals, principles, common sense, and values. All of us are nowProfessionals and Business Owners who are trying to figure out why the Politicians andBoard Members think that "THEIR WAY" is the only way our children and grandchildrenlearn! Guess what, Folks, you need to go bury your head back into the sand! It is a provenfact that what you are doing to the kids of today is absolutely not working. PERIOD! As I have said before and I will keep repeating it "Our Children and Grandchildren arenot getting a common sense education and they are going to be left with a debt that cannever be paid" just because all of the Politicians and Board Members have lost theircommon sense and they have to grease their egos.In the past several years, can you see where the School Bond(s)and Millions of Dollars havebeen spent? I can't and neither can you! We are getting absolutely nothing for thesedollars except deeper in debt, bigger salaries being paid out, and raising a society of kidsthat cannot carry an intelligent conversation. Is this our "future" American Leaders? We are all paying enormous taxes and enormous school taxes.
IT'S TIME FOR ALLPROPERTY TAXES BE ELIMINATED! We should demand, immediately, our tax moniesback and put our kids in Private Schools or Home School them so they can learn the basicskills, morals, values, and principles, that will get them through life. Is it too late to takeour children back and hold and love them, before they get so confused they don't knowwho or what to believe? Does everyone think that this "computerized" age, with all the "ifwe don't do this today it'll be outdated tomorrow is working?" If you believe this, thinkagain! Our Children and Grandchildren need role models not "idols", "cell" phones,"internet and computers", "tv's, dvd's, etc". Could this be why drugs and suicide are onthe rise?
