Unfortunately you’re forced to pay for said schools and teachers through property taxes whether your kid goes to it or not. Hell even if you don’t have school age kids or kids at all.
All part of the drumming down process. Dumb down from the top.
And the school shut downs, putting kids in masks and the constant fear porn they’ve been bombarded with, has taken a huge step towards that.
Well I don’t know where you live but teachers make way more than 25k. Plus bennies.
