I had a conversation with my cuz last Thanksgiving in fact. Bitching about how much of my taxes goes to the schools and I have no kids. Her kids goto Gilberts schools and she would love to get them into another district. bla bla bla. Im like IMO if your kids are smart your kids are smart. I don't think a better school district is going to make them more intelligent. I don't get why people purposely buy homes in places for schools. Like my dad for example he bought his house in a small section of Hoffman Estates surrounded by South Barrington and Inverness because he wanted to be in the Fremd school distract. He could have got the same home in Hoffman Estates for probably $75-$100K less if it was on the other side of the highway and had Schaumburg Schools. IDK I just don't get the big deal about schools.
I don't have kids and never will...
This thread makes me laugh. I'm okay with having a library and schools on my tax bill because they improve the community I live in.
Radio guy knows whats up
it is an important aspect about buying a house, regardless of having kids or not. I wont name districts, but when I was looking at houses, there was this one subdivision where they drew the school boundaries right down the middle. Houses were all of the same cookie cutter. Same builder, same style/size, plot sizes, etc. Houses for sale on the "worse" school district side were nearly $100K less than the others for sale on the "better" school district side. There were not any drastic differences in the homes themselves either.
71% of my property taxes go to the schools. They are decently rated and conservatively ran with little debt. We are DINKS and it sucks, but if it has to go somewhere, I'd rather see my money go there than some other government waste.
I just think most/all parents want their kids to learn and be taught by quality teachers that are paid fairly, and also not be constantly distracted by students that are not there to learn.
I see Panda's argument tho. He's getting raped in taxes in general.
I never looked or cared about how good the schools were when i was house shopping. Doesnt bother me one bit.
This was like one of the top thing for us.
Different areas of life I guess.
