Yea, you're really doing kids a favor, giving them an education that is at-best mediocre, and straddling them with a huge tax burden. Future workers are gonna be down 50% before they leave the freakin' house!

I knew it. If the subs were going to raise taxes for their school systems as they should, Memphis would do something to counter with a tax increase, too just because. It won't matter in the long run, taxes will go up especially since the consolidated school system will need that much more money to waste.
