Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire School Tax Refunds

The schools get paid by the feds for serving lunch/breakfast. The schools just have to say how many meals they served.

Aalf: Indeed "a pipe dream"!

School is out here for remainder of this term. The school gave every kid a device to take home, local internet provider is not charging for the hookups. All the parents need to do is pay $5.00 for the module for their house they complained so much the school is even paying for that! About 1/4 of the kids for one reason or another still have no access to internet so the school told them to watch PBS cartoons for 1hour a day then get quizzed on that at end of week...unfuking real.
All spring sports are canceled too so why are coahes still getting paid? My school taxes are $7500+ a year what a rip. Buildings arw closed with one janitor in each building 4 hours a day.
Every kid gets a free pass as none will be held back if they do not do the online lesson.

The schools around here, although closed to students, are still in operation. Just remotely, for the most part. Office staff is still coming in, and cafateria staff is still making breakfast and lunch for the parents to pick up in bag form. Also, teachers are still assigning work for the kids via the school website, correcting the work for grades, and getting pay checks.

The teachers unions would probably want an increase in salaries for hazardous duty pay to work from home.

Jesus.

Nobody shows up at our schools. But this is a pretty nice area.

Same with my wife here in southern Utah. She was assigned this year to teach at three schools, and is now working from home 12-16 hours a day dealing with over 300 students, online IT issues, and administrators coming up with non-essential bs activities and requirements to justify sitting in an office by themselves all day.

Those world class campuses are a welfare for good old boy Austin connected construction companies. Some of these places are higher end than some State Capitals. Taj Mahal schools are crazy stupid.

Top heavy dead weight is the true education problem. Build empires spend more and more on education while keeping the teacher's wages low. Disgusting overall.

No sports, no coaches, no bus routes, no drivers, no gas bills, mechanics, etc......

Floriduh.

After the Gov. announced yesterday that Alaska schools would remain closed for the remainder of the year, I asked my wife, "Do you think we can get a nice tax cut on property taxes since the schools are closed". I get that teachers are working form home, etc, and so are the kids. My youngest is a 10th grader, and he will have missed about 40% of new learning he would have gotten had school remained open. He has his classes online now, but it's reviews only, nothing new being taught, and only 1 assignment a week per class for most of them. That kid had daily homework assignments in math, as well as 3 each week in science and English. One of his classes now, the work is optional.

Now my son in college, his 2 classes that were in classroom went to online, and he said his homework has increased quite a bit from when it was classroom learning. That I have no problem with,

Up in the county my hunting camp is in there is a small high school approx. 100 students from 9-12 with 3 small elementary schools approx. 60 kids in each no school sponsored sports other than 1 baseball team at high school for a boys team and girls softball team. Naturally it is closed now an students are doing the online thing. My question is why am I paying $3500 a year in school tax on a 24x32 building, property tax I feel is fair enough but think I am getting raped to pay that much in school tax.
The population in the district goes DOWN every year, those of us whom own camps in the area seem to be paying the bulk of the bills for the schools. Not fair in normal times very unfair now with the year cut short.

After reading my above posting I am tempted to just burn the place down and stay in a motel!!!

I'm sure our school tax in Oklahoma is going toward a massive waste of food. The schools are feeding anyone who comes in, no ID required, with bag lunches. The little illegal mexican urchins have been observed coming in and getting a sack lunch, then taking out the bag of chips and tossing the rest into the garbage. The school does this to get more federal funding, which is tied to the total number of lunches given away. Total waste. Total mismanagement, and typical of the waste of tax money on public schools.

Well, since my wife the school teacher is working more hours than ever converting her entire curriculum to work in a virtual classroom, plus still teaching classes, I'd say she's earning her paycheck.

What school expenses are reduced?

Teachers are still going to get paid. School bonds still have to be paid. New infrastructure to support online learning needs to be installed. Computers purchased etc.

Beside we're dealing with the government. If anything your taxes will go up.

My mother was until she retired, my daughter is, my daughter in-law is, my granddaughters (2) are, and a nephew is they are all teachers. they all went into to have a job with 10 1/2 weeks of summer off every year and a benefit package unheard of in today's world an let us not speak of tenure. You know what they are all lazy whom are now bitching they must actually put forth an effort to keep getting a fat check. None of them earns under $65 K most are pushing $100 K in annual salary .
I spoke with my one daughter yesterday she teaches 8th grade English all she did wad bitch and moan cause her class time of 1 hour a day cuts into her getting the boat on the lake for water skiing prior to the lake getting busy! Give me [bleep] break!

People here have noticed that I am posting more. I am teaching via remote learning. We have a lot more teacher's meetings with admin. Generally, these are "go team" talks because they know what kind of C. F. this remote learning is. However, teaching is more difficult because we, on our district, have to create assignments, deliver online instruction and yet none of the stuff we are making actually counts towards a student's grades.

We have a lot of students that are not doing anything but going to Pornhub. The dumpster fire, chuckleheads are on everyday because their parents are going completely postal. They went to Pornhub already. I have had several parents come on to the meetings to ask me how I get their kids to do what I ask because they won't do anything for them.

The bright-eyed, movers and shakers are doing more work. They ask for extra assignments constantly. So I am always making curriculum. We are also asked to call all of our students who aren't doing any work. Those who don't answer are recorded in the student log shell. This sadly can be used by Social Services. I don't think parents understand that when they allow their kids not to do any work that those students are being recorded and this material is a legal evidence of parental neglect.

Sincerely,
Thomas

I suspect our teachers are still being paid.
