why aren't people voting for school levies?

Question

I hear people say they can't afford school levies but yet they
vote for fire, libary, senior citizen's funding, etc... well, if you
don't have mney or want your taxes to go up, then why vote
for anything? I think nodays with the contant technology, we
need smart kids and they won't be that why if we not supporting
the schools.

Answer 1

My school levy passed. I send my children to private schools and I still support the school levy!

It's a matter of how you want to prioritize your spending!

BTW- I also vote Pro-Life, Pro-Military and Pro-Gun Control.

Answer 2

Citizens want to get what they pay for.
They see too much failure and too many drop-outs combined with non-educational socializing B-S designed to change the social structure of the Nation to something the voters DON'T WANT.
Why pay for what isn't good and what you don't want?

Answer 3

i agree.
library funding is important however (im a librarian and know first-hand how pivotal libraries can be to young children)

Answer 4

Our teachers care about how much they are getting, not how much the students are learning.
