"they just took my property tax bill check and gave it away for housing, not my kids education, nor someone else's. No wonder we don't have good schools."

I don't think it's the raw dollars. After all, i've paid over $90K in property taxes since coming to California and I don't have even one kid in school. Well over 50% of homeowners do not have kids in school ans so are paying property taxes for somebody elses' kids.

The problem is that over 50% (I've heard) of the education employees are administrative, not in the classroom.
