Re: tax/public schools

Even though I have never reproduced, I still believe we should provide
all children w/ a quality education. Down here they spend way too much
time and money on football which is detrimental to the whole purpose
(learning) of the kids being in school. The curriculum is a secondary
consideration. But you can't tell people here that. They won't listen.
