I went to see the musical at ETHS last weekend and if the stellar arts programming is part of what my taxes go for, I have no complaints. I guess I feel (and feelings have little basis in fact, but nonetheless) that d65 offers little to such a wide swath of their population, they don’t deserve any more of my hard earned dollars. In 8 years, my mortgage payment has gone up almost $1000 per month. This is at 3% interest rate. Yes, some of it is an increase in insurance, but the rest is taxes. I know it’s not all d65, but everyone keeps touting d65 as a reason to live here and bear the higher cost of living. It’s unaffordable. One more increase and I’ll have to sell up and get out. But hopefully I will be able to go somewhere that the local school district isn’t run by complete boobs and I won’t have to deal with the additional expenses of private school. That certainly was never part of the plan when I purchased a home here.

I wonder if some of the difference is for equipment. Ever seen the auto shop at ETHS? Absolutely incredible - basically a jiffy lube in a high school. And I wonder if high school science labs are more expensive than those in the junior high schools.
