When you wondered where your school taxes went

Beav you're a ray of sunshine.

Where do we start....

How does this make the news in Dallas? Isn’t that just another day of school?
They postponed the fight? Did I hear that correctly? Points to the kids for their planning skills, if so.
What does that reporter use to polish that head of his? Very impressive shine.

I found it laughable people wanting free education, the government/state and tax payers respond by building nice schools with incredible sport venues. Kids go to them school to behave like azzholes not even great full for what we build for them, and teachers flooding them kiddos with extra credits cause they want to keep their jobs and the school want to keep their high ratings to attract more property taxes. Its a total scam.

Having said that, i feel for DeSoto ISD teachers. They live in a world of high stress

Everyone knows what the continuing/constant problem is.

Yep Put um in school uniforms and stop all sports programs.

Hoodlums.

somehow I don't think sports and dress code is what he was referring to...

As someone who was in education for 31 years I know a bit about education. Education went the way of government. Most people don’t really want to be bothered with the details. Elect officials and let them decide how the government operates while I focus on ME. We see how that has worked out. Same with education. Send kids off to school and let them handle the details. Combine that with the participation award mentality and parents not parenting, we now we see what that got us. So now we complain. That with education changing its focus from actually educating kids to building and building. Focusing on extra curricular. You would be amazed how much is spent on EC. The return on investment is a laugh.

So now we have a government that cannot govern. We have an education system that is not educating.


This is the extremely short version of what went wrong. But believe me education is way off the rails today. As is our government.

well articulated, i concur

Why do you keep posting these bunker bound threads the refuse access?

Why in the world would a post about taxes need to be in the bunker?

Also, there are requirements to get in there. Not sure why, but whatever.

It is my opinion that post count is a lot like golf, higher the score, well enough said.

Bill, I d like to sell you my 22,000 posts in return for your crocs

That’s a darn good summation.

But the problem is the people do not want to admit it, It is har to look in the mirror and say "I am the problem"

I can’t image why parents would want vouchers proportional to atleast their yearly school tax to send their kids to private schools with zero tolerance policies

Would, or wouldn't want?

Would, why would you want to HAVE to send your kids to Desoto, I get not ever one can afford to move into a top tier school district but they should atleast have a better say on how their school tax money is spent in reference to those children.

How about, IF your kid gets in trouble in school Your Taxes Go Up another few percentage points for that whole year.. Lets see how fast these So Called Parents reel them brats in and help out these teachers..

That’s actually brilliant, I’d vote for it. But what do you do about subsidized housing

Don't think it would work. The parents of the kids getting into trouble wouldn't pay. They would claim the school was raciest for saying that their little angel was no good, and get an ambulance chasing lawyer to sue the school

Your kids involved in a fist fight in the halls of school and it's on tape, Pay or go to jail like your brat should.. If you don't own a home your license plates are suspended and your drivers license too..


NORM for President 2024

What about the ones who don't have a drivers license or current registration... or citizenship.

Just let them beat the heck out of each other and get it over with.

In the good old days the troublemakers were kicked out of school for a few weeks and eventually became dropouts, Today, the "SYSTEM" wants a 100% graduation rates, the SYSTEM mainstream kids into the regular curriculum to keep those NUMBERS HIGH.

It is all about the NUMBERS while the PTB keep preaching it is all about the kids.

The coming kaboom will take care of it. Brick and mortar days are numbered for public schools

Aren’t districts paid by the state for the total kids attending? If so, that explains why districts no longer suspend problem students.

The NUMBERS.

My wife taught there in the early 90's, went up to see her one day and walked past a group up students that said "whazup m.....f....er". I mentioned to the principal in passing and she just said they were saying "Hi".

I got her out of there the next year. Desoto used to be a nice town.

Top 3 causes:
1. Parents
2. Parents
3. Parents

And now its an absolute shiathole

When I was in middle school in Odessa, we had two Mexican gangs. The only people that could regulate them were the football players. I was in at least a 100 fights before my sophomore year. The blacks on the team fought right along with the whites because there weren’t that many of them. Almost all of the blacks were solid guys.

Mexicans mature faster than white people and are big from 7th to 9th grade compared to most whites. They’re all pretty bad dudes until 10th grade. Then it’s pretty much over for them unless they pull a knife. Our principal was an ex pro football player back when they played both ways. He mule deer hunted with us and got me out of class early several times to go hunting when my dad had to work on a Friday. Any time we fought one of the gangs he’d ask me what happened and I’d say these Mexicans jumped us. He’d say y’all go back to class and escort the gangsters out of school. They don’t have men running schools like that anymore.

You should contact Spielberg, as its great material for a great blockbuster -based on a true story.

Keller Central High just had a fight. School resource officer hurt his knee. We didnt bring out the fights and guns until after school and offsite. Have multiple escape routes...

Shock collars and water hoses.

My brother found the guy that used to own "Dry gulch motors", at 35 and Parkerville, laying in the street next to the high school, riddled with bullet holes. This was early 80s. Desoto is a chithole.

It is indeed. Final straw was Desoto PD and principal asking my wife to get a student out of her classroom because they suspected he had a gun in his bag. Sure enough he did. Oddly, Desoto at one time was the highest income per capita city in the metromess.

The dealers, the thugs, and other low lifes prefer the nicer neighborhoods. If you were part of the criminal element and could afford to raise your children on a nicer environment, you would do the same.

that pu--y gets the best of most all males.

I believe the faculty and staff should be armed with pepper spray. When a fight breaks out, hose everyone in the area. Soon the spectators will run away before they get sprayed. No audience, no reason to fight. Also, faculty and staff will not get hurt like they often do when breaking up a fight.

What phathawg said.

Yep, the fire extinguisher size.

How about a fire hose? That’ll disperse em. Bunch a little bastages

I am amazed at the number of "choir boys" and "alter boys" that roam the halls o the THF.

In high school if you were caught fighting on campus the football coach would drag both perps into the gym where he would make both of you put boxing gloves. You fought till one of you couldn’t stand.

Looser got a beat down.
Winner would get suspended.

I got in my fair share of trouble growing up but you never caught me anywhere near this sort of stupidity. Like a pack of farel animals.
