Free education?

Spencer Daily Reporter:

I remember hearing it somewhere.
What's that term again, oh yes, "free education."

Anyone can get a public education because it's free.

Really, because I just spent close to $90 at one of our fine local retailers picking up a few of those last minute mandated items for that free education.

Obviously when you're talking about parochial or private schools, there is a degree of tuition associated with that choice. But the public school system is supposed to be something that we pay taxes to cover.

And yet each year, I see a rack of flyers for each school within a one-hour radius with lots of small lettering detailing every item the students must have to attend the public schools to acquire their free public education.
