Did you ever have any kids? If so, then there were people that were helping to pay for your kids education... I don't disagree that the education system needs to be fixed. It seems that they are teaching to pass these tests, at least that is my impression with my kids.

OT Your experience in Georgia illustrates how different people perceive inflation radically different depending on where and how they live. My house in Florida is worth around $400,000 and my real estate taxes are $1,800. In 1981 they were $1,100. Most of my neighbors pay the same or less tax than I, on houses worth about the same as mine. The CPI published by the government averages out housing costs across the US. My housing costs (dominated by the RE tax) have been consistently less than the published CPI for many years now.
