How about those property taxes?

See, they just need a better education!

I posted hastily and worded my thoughts terribly, and at the risk of not getting too much off topic, my point was when we move our children from one school district to another the curriculum should be the same. Something as important as education shouldn't be left up to local funding (I understand that the parents choice dictates whether the child goes to a "good" school or a "bad" school, but isn't that punishing the child who has no choice?). Could Franklin spend wiser (the city has a new ladder/fire truck that has a boom bigger then any building north of Manchester and a brand new police station with lots of neat new things to lock up the little delinquents who don't stay in school, cause their educations sub standard...)? Absolutely. Should the children of those not wise enough to know better be punished?

I agree with you, it all comes back to spending tax dollars WISELY.
