The state should find an equitable way to pay for the schoolig of all children, and make sure all children in Texas have an adequate educationMike in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635962989639829455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9467243.post-1120245420209050192005-07-01T14:17:00.000-05:002005-07-01T14:17:00.000-05:00Mike, One of the reasons some school districts are...Mike, <BR/><BR/>One of the reasons some school districts are poor is family size. I would guess that in a property rich district like Highland Park that family size is much smaller than a property poor district like Yselta District. <BR/><BR/>The opposite question from why should children in property poor districts suffer is Why should tax payer who decided to have one or two children have to pay extra because others decided to have four or five children?Superdestroyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708119879383713312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9467243.post-1120183890866996812005-06-30T21:11:00.000-05:002005-06-30T21:11:00.000-05:00superdestroyer,By "fertility rich" do you mean hav...superdestroyer,<BR/><BR/>By "fertility rich" do you mean having large amounts of new students?

Sure, I'd like a raise, but if you can't or won't do that, and if you can't or won't make things better, at least don't make it harder for us to teach.<BR/><BR/>Mike McDanielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9467243.post-1120150765239405972005-06-30T11:59:00.000-05:002005-06-30T11:59:00.000-05:00How many of the "property poor" school districts a...How many of the "property poor" school districts are "fertility rich?"Superdestroyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708119879383713312noreply@blogger.com
