Muda69 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 There is lots of wealth in the farm fields and livestock barns of Western Boone county. Plus a good percentage of federal "bailout" money flowing to area farmers, including the 46071 area code: https://farm.ewg.org/addrsearch.php?search_input_text=46071 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good friend of mine went there, it's a very good area. Not very affluent, just a lot of great farmland and people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's farmers aren't your daddy's daddy's farmers. Take a look at the properties the "old farm houses", the farming equipment, the acreage... There are plenty of rich farmers. A short drive through the country or heck even a quick Zillow search will show that farmers are cashing in on their acreage in Boone county to developers. Thorntown not too far of a commute to Indy/Lafayette either for those who didn't choose the farmer life. Didn't Webo just get artificial turf?? Sounds affluent to me! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try and reread all the time but with my dyslexia I miss stuff all the time and I tend to write like I talk, I drove my wife crazy trying to read my letters back in the day on my deployments before ever one had computers with them.

All folks do not qualify for f/r/l for the same REASON but they do have to meet the same financial parameters obviously.

ShakeDownTheThunder Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Is the argument against private schools based on the caliber of students enrolled, or is it financially based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primarily #1. Many p/p fanatics like to play the martyr and proclaim how much they have financially 'sacrificed' to send their child(ren) to p/p school, all the while also being forced by the state to pay for traditional government schools. That said, the caliber of a student at a p/p is generally higher. It's the old "I'm paying a lot of money for you to attend this school, so you better excel and also do X, Y, & Z!!!!!" While to many parents government schools are really nothing more that a "free" babysitting service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itiswhatitis Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) And yet another regurgitated topic comes back to life! Next year right after the tournament, it will show up again: publics versus privates. It's like it gets reincarnated about every 12 months. "This group has it better than that group and this group is broke and this group has all the money". Yada, yada, yada. Blah blah, blah. Nothing ever changes around here. One group gets in one corner and the other group gets in a different corner and start slinging crap at one another. Then it's like a ping pong match, and the only difference? There is NO winner! I recall many years ago, the Yankees paid out MILLIONS to put a lot of superstars on their baseball team. What happened? They didn't even make the playoffs! So it isn't always about the money, Uncle Charlie. I don't care whether you agree with me or not but you KNOW I speak the truth. Truth = Nothing ever changes. Same old arguments, same results - nothing gets accomplished. Edited December 5, 2019 by itiswhatitis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
