It is a tough sell to place even more tax burden on people who will never realize the benefits.

But you will. We all benefit from a well-educated society. A poorly educated workforce isn't competitive with one that is well-educated, and they attract employers with jobs that can take advantage of them. They provide the work for good-paying jobs and drive the economy we're growing old in and hopefully retiring from someday.

Public education benefits everyone, not just the children.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
