FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

Prediction for the future
Because it's in your own community's long term interest if kids where you live have the opportunity to get a solid education.
This "fuck you, I got mine!" mindset against properly funding education is incredibly short-sighted.
“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
Riiight, sedentary children is a good thing too .
No matter what you end up paying for others poor health choices. Even if you just pay direct, the cost has to factor in how much the system is utilized. Having healthier children is also better for you in the long run.

I mean it could be bait or it could be shame at how stupid they look.
Firm believer in the notion that a better educated society is a healthier society. I'm 51, eyeing 52, and I still vote in favor of taxes for education every single time the option(s) is on the ballot.
That depends on the district you live in. My previous residence had excellent schools but they were also very wasteful with their money, and were always asking for more. They would ask for a large tax levy and promise that they wouldn't need another increase for six years but two years later they had their hands out again. Yeah it is important to get funding for the schools so the kids have a better chance, but when the principle of the local high school makes more per year than the governor of the state something is wrong.
It's pretty hilarious that you say there needs to be reformation, say like, I don't know a common core curriculum, something Republicans hate and fight against. Then you turn around and say there needs to be more vocational classes, another Republican thing.
Going to go with PosPosPos here, you are complaining about a problem that is of your own doing.
From a purely selfish standpoint? The more smart people there are, the more likely we'll find solutions to things like cancer, climate change, and whatever other issues there are. Oh, and higher educated people are less likely to resort to crime.

But if no one deserves anything, they why do people deserve a better world?
So your neighbors kids dont grow up thinking the world is flat surrounded by a wall of ice like in Game of Thrones?
That would be my first thing on the list.
Becasue, when you are old and need doctors there will not be any and people with that mentality will be the reason why.
I honestly see it as an issue of neglect combined with a desire to see everyone succeed even those who can not. I don't see it as Republican or democrat issue. Both have made the situation worse but I doubt it was malicious.

Every man woman and child should be against common core.. it's been proven to be disadvantageous at this point. You agree because you see everything as a political matter and anything that does not fall into that black and white divide moves past your ability to interupt properly.
Almost all education funding in the United States comes from State and Local taxes. Comparatively little federal. So by all means if you want to fuck over your immediate vincitny and your State's future, cut education spending. To hell with the children, amirite?
I'm from Massachusetts. We don't do that. Our children's future companies will need some low wage, low skill set laborers for the jobs robots can't do. To offset the cost of paying for a high school, high wage workforce. Little more than bipedal mules who can talk, really.
Your uneducated children should do quite nicely. So please. carry on. Cut education. What can possibly go wrong?
Properly funded schools produce smarter students ts who go on to college. Many may return back to the community and provide benefits to it. Better schools increase your property values and makes your community a destination for younger people with kids who will spend money and improve your local economy. Butt keep up got mine fuck you attitude.

While being funded enough to operate is a necessity I don't really want to attribute more money equals more success.
As for those saying public schools produce doctors.. in sure they do to some extent but I am going to mostly credit private schools for that.
