Obama signs No Child Left Behind rewrite into law
Altimaomega said: » So marijuana is the key to education. Who would have guessed it. It's a voluntary usage tax on a substance that should never have been criminalized that can supplement lots of funds. Colorado had more than they knew what to do with in a matter of months, and since you (presumably) don't buy or use marijuana, and a lot of your tax money goes to imprisoning non-violent pot users, it's win-win.

Really though, I'm curious because I do not live in the city.
I pay taxes on 100 acre plot of land and a 15 acre plot of land. The 100 acre I pay over 3k specifically designated to my school district. The 15 acre is around 1k a year. This money is suppose to go directly to the school. Regardless if I have children or not. Multiply this by all the property owners in the district and you come up with a fairly hefty sum. That is not even mentioning the money that is suppose to come from the state lottery. Then you get into tax breaks for everything the school purchases (which is totally fine btw) The school where I send my children is self sufficient. The Athletic Boosters raise money for the sports programs. The PTA holds various fundraisers for other things the school may need. How does this work in cities? Multiple schools exists within close proximity to one another so this system obviously does not work. Is this why "schools" are having problem with money? Asura.Floppyseconds said: » So we all approve of this action by Obama, right? ;p Last I checked the federal government wanted you to spend life in prison for possession of marijuana. Hard telling, especially since every other time you have posted you couldn't have cared less about the OP.

Multiple schools exists within close proximity to one another so this system obviously does not work. Is this why "schools" are having problem with money? Depends on the state. Rural schools are actually the hardest up for cash due to low attendance. Also tax's do not go "directly" to anywhere but the tax collecting account, where it's then distributed based on the approved budget. Now is this a municipal tax or a state tax? If it's municipal then you can be somewhat assured it's going to your school. If it's state then it's going into the states coffers and then distributed out, now there might be a provision defining how much each region gets but you'd have to get into the laws details to know that. It's expensive as hell to run our education system. You got the typical facilities costs along with maintenance and utilities. Then you have personal costs and those get stupid quick once you start counting all the administrative positions involved in running such large bureaucratic systems. Then the IT costs, and schools tend to over-spend on the wrong things while under-spending on the right ones. Materials aren't that expensive relative to everything else but they are frequently though of last and the first to be cut. On a kind of side tangent, I've always been keen on taxing luxury / recreational items instead of taxing high income. It's a far fairer system that doesn't discourage achievement. Wealthy people like to show off their wealth and will brag about how much a particular luxury item costs. So lets play on their vanity and desire to feel superior then everyone else rather then attempt to punish them for being wealthy.

It's a great idea but nobody seems to care beyond that. Altimaomega said: » School millage. Not what I asked. Which level of government creates and enforces this law? If it's municipal / county then they will be the ones collecting the tax which also means they are the ones distributing it. If the state created and enforces the law then they will be the ones collecting and distributing the tax proceeds. Governments are no different then business's, they have bank accounts and accountants who process disbursements. The municipality can not spend money it doesn't have in it's accounts, and money is only placed in those accounts by a transfer or a payment. So unless your writing a check out to your school every tax cycle, then someone else is collecting the tax and dispersing it accordingly to some system. Altimaomega said: » I've heard this from quite a few people. It's a great idea but nobody seems to care beyond that. Because leftists don't want it as one of the corner stones of their political religion is the reduction in consumption that goes with less production and less quality of life. Fiscal conservatives today don't want it because they just see it as "another tax" and not as tax reform. FINALLY!!! *** YES!!
Now I can teach kids what *** matters instead of how to pass a test. Critical thinking, go!

I still don't get why there are so damn many standardized tests. I took a handful throughout my entire schooling and always scored in the high 90's. The frequency and level of stress of these recent tests just blows my mind. Asura.Saevel said: » Not what I asked. Which level of government creates and enforces this law?

Guess I didn't realize common core affected college as well.
http://hypeline.org/professor-slams-trump/ The exam question read: Donald Trump is: a) a fool b) already in hell c) a clown d) all of the answer choices for this question are correct e) an evil man f) the Anti-Christ Quote: The course is a part of Creighton University’s Magis Core Curriculum program, which is necessary to fulfill graduation requirements. The program is explained in depth on the university’s website: The Magis CCAS Core Curriculum involves 18 components and 52 credit hours; specifically, it involves all of the 13 components (35 credit hours) of the Magis Common Core Curriculum and 5 additional components (17 credit hours) that are specific to the Creighton College of Arts & Sciences. Each component has a justification that is rooted in the Catholic and Jesuit intellectual tradition. Ironically, the course description cites diversity as one of the main objectives of the class, “The course’s pedagogy gives special attention to critical thinking and writing within a framework of cultural diversity as well as comparative and interdisciplinary analysis.” Altimaomega said: » Asura.Saevel said: » Not what I asked.

Good then it's likely to be making it to the school without being interfered with. Right which brings me back to this.

Founded by the Society of Jesus in 1878, the school is one of 28 member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. The university is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Creighton is the largest private religious university in Nebraska. Your point? Being private makes it even more crazy, if that is possible.
Altimaomega said: » Your point? Being private makes it even more crazy, if that is possible. This isn't common core, just their core Curriculum It's like trying to say that "Liberty University" is a real school, ha.

Also tax's do not go "directly" to anywhere but the tax collecting account, where it's then distributed based on the approved budget. Texas's gas tax goes straight to a specific account (Highway Fund). The proceeds from the Texas Lottery goes straight to a specific account (Education Fund, although not all of it, just a specific percentage). There are few examples of specific taxes or revenues going towards a specific fund, and it depends on that state's law.

Is it anything above 32 inch flat screen TVs, or 24 inch? Is it an SUV, or do we include Pickups too? Are video game systems a luxury item? See my point? Luxury is a very broad term, and can be considered to be anything not needed to survive. Asura.Kingnobody said: » Bahamut.Kara said: » Altimaomega said: » Your point?
