Here we are again, another proposed school levy and another letter writing campaign by anti-school district voters. I will probably be wrong in a few cases, but I’d be willing to make some bets about their backgrounds: I would bet good money that most, if not all of them were educated in a public school system somewhere with someone else paying the bills. Other good bets would be that few, if any, of them have children or grandchildren in our school system or have ever worked as an educator. It is sad that they choose to ignore the long-term benefits that quality education brings to all of us in favor of short-term savings for their personal pocket books.
