Yea, it is staggering how much the simple honor of living in our paid for house costs. The property taxes are low compared to many states, but still lots of money. We had some local kids come to the door looking to sell some crap to help them in school. I told him I pay over 2 grand per year to the school system, and I have never sent one kid to school. I fully understand we have to have schools but dor what they cost, it is sure not much return. Every year they lower the standards, and the grades still drop.
When I see TV shows about the education in China and Japan, it is sad to me. They are doing a great job of teaching kids, and in the US the culture is the smart kids are the geeks and not cool, and to be cool, you have to have bad grades and ignorance is cool.
