You’re right, here’s a cookie, now STFU. I never should have assumed after looking at dozens of homes for sale in the area for years that my taxes would be even remotely close to what they pay. WTF was I thinking, who would ever think that NY/EA had something that was even remotely close to a kind of balance in property taxes? I should have read the part of the tax code that says “we fuck new builds in the ass, dry”. ---

Don’t feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for my business associates that are going to miss out on the “trickle down”. Believe me this will effect others more than me in the long run. I had already talked to some contractors about plowing, mowing, etc, etc, etc. They will not see a penny of my money now. ---

Someone here posted the cost per student at a top-notch private school and then at a Buffalo public school. It’s insane how much more the public school spends for a lower quality education. Government-run programs tend to become very bloated and inefficient. ---

:picard: If private schools had to take the dregs that Buffalo schools do, they’d have the same test scores. We’ve been through this before. You need the raw materials to get a good finished product. I’m not joining in another AWDrifter bitch fest, so im out. I think he should seriously consider selling his house and buying an uninhabited island, since he doesn’t seem to want any of the services the government provides. ---

There are so many factors for that comparison if you simply look at the numbers you will be missing most of the information. Lets not forget that teachers in the Private sector get paid half as much as in the public sector. Thats below poverty. ---

yes. really. its gross. a lot of teachers fresh out of college have to basically serve slave labor in either a private school or down south until they can get experience and make a living wage. ---

Private school salary averages less than 20k a year. Average starting salary in a public school is 34k. When you have to have a masters to teach in NY you better be getting paid atleast 30k starting. ---

Nearly half of all teachers quit within 5 years. Its job you have to love, which I do. And don’t let anyone say that we do it to have July and August off because for the past 4 years I have worked in the summer either as a summer school teacher, part time machinist and even at walmart. ---
