Comment on Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US?
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 hours agoThey’ve conditioned people to be so against taxes that you have a significant portion of the public saying things like, “why should my taxes fund public schools if my children graduated 20 years ago?”

I’ve heard people say this with my own IRL ears. It’s completely indefensible.

It’s a very common sentiment. It comes from people with no kids as well, which is bad enough, but when it’s boomers who had kids go to public school for k-12, it’s just another level.
