Yes, but the argument goes that parents who are likely to move their kids elsewhere have kids where the cost to educate them is just a fraction of what is being spent on the average kid. Imagine a school system that spends $15k per student

In many public schools you have the exact same thing depending on where you are. There are also a lot of adults who show the lack of meeting a diverse set of homeschool families as well. They don't usually see that in themselves either

Do you see any upper limit for how much you are willing to pay per student to have them educated in society?

That might be some of it, but I don't think it explains why the numbers are staying so high. A number of parents got a view into the quality of education and decided they could do better themselves.

Wouldn't an employee making that $201k salary in another country be responsible for paying all the taxes to support the socialized healthcare, etc? In other words the take home pay may be significantly less.

Would anyone who has actually set up a rack assume that they meant these racks were wireless with a self-contained nuclear generator? I think their description conveys what it does just fine for the target audience.

Another question would be what would happen if they had of kept the drone over the road. From the looks of it, they could have gotten all the pictures they wanted without flying above his property.

If the city had used commercially available photos from an airplane or satellite, I doubt if there would be an issue. In many situations, flying a drone over someone's property can be considered trespass. However in many states tax ass
