Frisco people bitchin

[L8 APEX]

You see these asshats bitching that there is no public school bus service for their fat little kids that live closer that 2 miles of the school? Gimmie a break you farksticks! There is a long standing Texas law that busses are for kids 2 miles and further. Frisco already spends 5 million a year on busing kids. It averages out to 1000 bucks a year per kid. Frisco offered to bus the close kids for 300 a year parents expense. So of course a dumpling of a mother says she pays school taxes and won't pay anymore. She expects a bus at her front door 4 blocks from the school. Where is this world going to....:evil

I remember back in the old days. We walked ten miles in 5 foot of snow with one shoe, to get to school every day:cool:.

I don't have a problem with the kids walking a little ways but did you see the footage of the area? They don't even have a sidewalk or a shoulder on the road as a safe walking path and its a main 4 lane hwy. The city at a minimum should provide a sidewalk to all areas where the buses don't go.

The school was complaining about not have money. Frisco is growing so fast they should have plenty of excess tax money to build a little infrastructure.

frisco is building (2) 20 million dollar middle schools and a 60million dollar HS, and a 30 million dollar Career tech i think there may be another one in the works after these 2 are finished, they have plenty of money if they would just be fair as to where they choose to spend it:rolleyes:

[L8 APEX]

Hey if no kids get run over the world will become even more over populated. Something has to bring balance to the world, maybe I can bring balance to the world:icon_eek:

I can understand the the busing only for kids over 2 miles. What kills me is the school districts giving a list of school supplies that include white-board markers, pens, copy paper, 3 boxes of tissues, etc... things my 8yr old is not allowed to use in school. And certainly will certainly not use 3 boxes of tissues in a singe school year. I am not sure what we pay school taxes if it does not pay for these things. On top of that they pimp my kid out to sell this fundraiser BS. I would rather give a donation than all this nickle & dime crap!

My kiddo is in the same school system.... I was wondering the same thing.
And I would pay the $300 a year to get the buss to stop at my house. And I don't live but a half mile away from the school. Thats cheaper than any other thing I have found. The kiddo rides the bike to School. But on rainy days, I would prefer a bus to be here. And I know what I pay in school taxes..... It ain't cheap!

Kids whos parents don't pay school taxes (aka illegal aliens) should NOT be allowed to attend school. :nono:

My son is always coming home from school saying, the teacher says to bring this or that. I say bring me a note from you teacher and I'll send it. The note never comes.

[L8 APEX]

I am with you D, I and many of my childless friends don't like paying school taxes on our proerty. If you want to have kids you should pay tuition wherever they go. You choose to have them you should pay the piper. Why burden the rest of us with your sperm donation:icon_eek:.

I disagree for one reason - IF the illegals were kept at the border, the school costs would be lower and taxes would be lower. I would be ok with making a contribution to the education system. BUT the number of ifs involved make it impossible ...

The reason I think everyone should pay is that we dont want to live in a neighborhood of under educated people ...

[danielvalles1]

That sucks let the kids walk 2 miles give me a brake i used to walk to school all the time never Knew how many miles but it was a long ass way and it was fun walking to school and from school.:icon_biggrin:

This would be the only reason I feel like the parents have a legitimate b!tch. If there is no safe way for the kids to walk to school, the district needs to get them on the bus. IMHO

I used to think that, but without your tax dollars to pay for the formative education that the next generation of police officers, firefighters, military, etc, etc, what happens?

I don't mind the hard working families from south of the border(without them, who's going to mow my lawn, build my house, fix my roof, serve me 2 tacos for a dollar at Jack in The box?)...it's the lazy free loaders from East of the border I would like to toss out.

If your kid walked 2 miles to school, how many convicted sex offenders houses would they pass on the way? Look into it. It may surprise you.

How many similarly sick people have kids walked past on he way to school for the past 1000 years ?? Its just now they are listed on a website

[jmlay]

We have family friends tried to move there child to another school here locally, a few years back because a majority of kids did NOT speak English... There child was falling behind because he did not speak Spanish & the teachers had to cater to the children that did not speak English. LISD denied their request!

F'n sad society WE have created....

Mike

[dboat]

Exactly!!!!

Gentlemen,

I agree with the concept that 1) we only speak English in schools, except where its a special language class, (I did take half a year of Spanish in Intermediate school), 2) that we do not educate illegals and they (all parents) would have to show proof of citizenship for their children to attend. However, I dont get where if I didnt pay, because I dont have kids in school that would mean that kids wouldnt get a good education. Their are states where if you dont have kids in school, you dont pay school taxes (Indiana). I dont think they are having issues, yet you have states where everyone pays and yet you have social promotion going on (New Orleans especially for years and years). I dont think everyone needs to pay in.. Or at least if you are a senior, you get a pass...

Its not like our current school system is raising 10's right now as it is. They need more than dollars. It needs corporal punishment, some kids will fail and cannot be trained. We need to start weeding out the weak once again and return a healthy balance to our ranks. No more support those who can't make it for no better reason than obligation, pitty or guilt..:icon_eek:

I'm with Dana on this one. If the parents can't pay the full cost of what their kids' education costs, then they need to have fewer kids. I never have figured out how it bacame my responsibility to financially support your offspring.

So you want the WT folks in the trailer down the street to have the option of paying for the education for the kids or simply NOT sending them to school ?
I dont like spending $3000 a year on education for other peoples kids BUT I dont want the uneducated ones stealing the $3000 from me every year at gunpoint

I dont want to live in that state

Then sterilize them.... j/k

I agree in concept, but I do believe that they should tote their own freight, one way or another.. I also agree with Terry that we need to be a bit tougher on some of these kids and not just pass them on through..

We had those methods before, no helmets, steel dashboards in cars, etc.. but now there isnt a whole lot of weeding of the weak.. :evil

[L8 APEX]

I propose a compromise. We all pay some school tax but those with kids pay more and pay PER kid. Seniors do not pay as they have paid for 30+ years.

nope, not agreeing to paying any tax... no kids, no taxes..

[L8 APEX]

Kind of like paying folks not to have kids, that sounds good to me. I still vote for sterilizing anyone on welfare or here illegally and stuff...

Nope, no option. They must pay a deposit into their childs' education school tax account before they can get their breeding license. If they fail to do so then they become indentured servants for those who do pay for their kids' education.

Frisco has been screwin its folks ever since the houseing boom that still is going north.Everything from those single lane roads to the 121 tollway fees now.I cant stand even driven through there.Frisco,Little elm and the colony have been over populated big time.I got a bud in little elm that cant get rid of his house lower than what its worth,there are still too many new ones being built and 4 sale.His was for sale for over a year.I drove through there to go dove huntin the other day,bumper to bumper for miles,3 hours later i got through.If ya want to bitch about school taxes,hell Flowermound gives ours to poorer districts and busses some from other cities to go to our schools.I cant stand that Robin Hood crap.Then to make up for all the money we give away they get the kids to solicit door to door selling crap.All in all 300 bucks isnt bad to keep your kid from gettin run over from pissed off road ragers who have been sittin in traffic for hours.They should quit there bitchin pay the fee,or try and sell there house and move.Every area has there issues.As far as Frisco you couldnt pay me to live there :vomit:
