It will only count on purchases above $30. So if your online order is $31 then your new total is $34.
This money will go to schools for betterment of education across all levels. Better salaries for teachers and improved infrastructure dramatically. All the schools will look like this in the photo or equivalent.
There will be an art school, music school and a lot of different types of subjects.
The way I see it is if you have money to buy things online then $3 wouldn’t really be much to you. This will be across all cities in America. Nobody will be left out. Everyone will have a great school.
Yes, it’s only $3 and worth it overall. 😇
No way, I need my $3 bro plus it adds up.

It’s only $3
Would you be okay with paying $3 extra on top of all of your online orders for Amazon, eBay and etc in order for schools to be uplifted?
Teachers should have higher salaries so they're properly compensated for all the hours they put in, but what you propose won't give teachers more authority, more curricular freedom, and certainly won't make students do their homework and study for tests. Along with teacher salaries, those are the real problems facing US K-12 public education.
Money is not the problem. The schools have plenty of money already.
There are two main problems:
1. School districts have a MASSIVE amount of administrative overhead, largely because of the Teacher's Union, and those are high-paying positions. 3/4 of those jobs could be cut, and the money that pays their salaries and benefits would be a huge windfall for the schools.
2. Leftist policies. Schools have been "pro-equity", pro-racism, anti-merit, and anti-science for years, and more recently, they've tripled down on wokeness. They're revising history and they're putting woke politics in ALL subjects, including math. Meanwhile, they've cut science, home ec, shop classes, music classes, and sports, and instead spend their time teaching far-left activism. They also refuse to impose any discipline and will not expel students short of them committing murder.
I think most people would be shocked if they spent a week in a modern classroom, and not pleasantly shocked.
Jeff Bezos is the richest man on the planet (or close to it). I'm not giving him one more cent, other than what I begrudgingly buy off Amazon, as essentials, cause there's nowhere else left to buy that shit, since they gobbled up all privately-owned competitors. If HE wants to donate to charities, HE should. It's his responsibility, not mine/ours. I already helped make him rich, while the thousands upon thousands of warehouse employees peed into water bottles and dropped to the concrete floor out of exhaustion.
Governments are the ones who are responsible for educating our children, allotting enough funds for that, which they never do in America. But they are more than happy to do the spending of other nations combined, on military "defence."
I don't have kids, so that's another reason it's not my responsibility to get K-12 education up to passing standards. Instead, standards are being dropped so that kids can graduate.
Pay teachers enough salary. Pay them fairly for taking on the responsibility of educating guiding the next generations. But, no, all occupations that are predominantly female-occupied are paid less than male-dominant occupations. Apparently bringing up peoples' kids is not a priority to them. They treat them more like cheaply-paid babysitters. And that, they are not.
no, the school systems need to get their spending under control and priorities correct. i have seen in dumpsters where a school has thrown out brand new books, rulers and other educational stuff, that's stuff we pay for with our property taxes. what the eff do i pay insane property taxes for then, I'm not the one out there having 5,6,7 kids by different people. what they need to do is stop building, (in my area anyways) all these insane stadiums for school sports and get their priorities correct with budgeting, then money is there but they have no clue how to actually use it right
You know everything you said can also apply to the US Government who left $Billions behind in Afghanistan. And they are spending $Billions in taking care if illegals, and having to build new schools to teach their children. But I can't disagree to what you said.
Nope, I would not pay it. You are from the US, so I assume you are talking about US education. You do realize that the US spends more per capita than any other country in the world?
The schools are government. Like all government entities they are extremely wasteful. They seriously do not need more money. Throwing more money at it doesn't accomplish a thing. They waste massive amounts of money on stupid stuff they don't need.
The quality of education is more of a social issue than a school or money issue. It has far more to do with the students themselves, and their parents than the school.
I've been to six different colleges and universities. Yes, some are better than others, but the student makes FAR more difference than the school. I don't mean how smart they are. I mean their attitude, their drive, their persistence, etc.
LOL nice joke. The idea that paying more taxes will result in better public services is a fking fairy tale here in North America. How about stop covering transgender surgeries, put 30k a pop back in the treasury. They’d probs just give it to Ukraine
The government, who is actually responsible for education, could take $3 out of the defense budget for every person in American, and put it towards education, instead.
I know, I know, then we'd only be spending $950,000,000,000 on defense, instead of $951,000,000,000. What a complete and utter tragedy that would be.
The main problem with schools is not about money, it's about curriculum. Let's get schools to teach things that help kids become positive members if society, and cut out trying to brainwash them into a specific political agenda. Teachers should teach, not push their politics onto kids.
schools? isn't that government funded DEPARTMENT education... if dnc would move money to schools instead of bad priority stuff less important than schools. schools should not fall on citizens because that is the purpose of government. but dnc is wrong again.
All this talk about underfunded schools is propaganda in Canada. In Ontario grades increased 7% during and after the pandemic. Now 23% of high school students have grades above 90% when applying for university. The number used to be 16% seven years ago before the pandemic happened.
"Everyone will have a great school." (if more money is provided)
A false premise if there ever was one. NO.
My property tax bill currently has 64.5% going toward our schools. The test core results, student attendance, deportment, and some of the ideologies of the schools are all dropping like rocks! More money does NOT automatically equate to better education.
They are pumping useless information to students and them students graduate not knowing how to do taxes, what rights they have and how to exercise said rights, sue somebody, press charges, trade, how to manage time and so on.
Absolutely not. This is wrong on so many levels it would take a book to explain it all. The taxes I already pay for schools are outrageous and half of it is wasted and spent on a woke education I do not support. Why would I want to be forced to pay even more taxes for this?
I'm already paying loads of SCHOOL TAXES for that shit and I've never even had any kids!! And, for as incredibly STUPID as kids are coming PUT of the school factory, I wouldn't SEND my kids to school, if I had any!!

I say no, not because i am cheap but that public schools are just indoctrination camps pushing liberal crap about how racist America is. I wouldn't give them 3 cents nevermind 3 dollars.
Too many teachers are trying to brainwash kids into being hardcore radical liberals. If anything, I would start giving a reward to students who report these teachers and dock the teacher's pay by say 1 paycheck per offense.
Hell no, schools already get way too much money, 100% of school funding needs to be suspended until they stop indoctrinating children, then 5% of it will be returned and the rest pays off national debt from now on
Nope. I already get taxed ridiculously for what have become indoctrination centers in all but name. I would not mind if I could target it to sending some gifted but poverty stricken kid (s) to academies.
Not on Amazon, their packaging are the worst of the worst after they stopped even using bubble mail. Last times I ordered from them thry basically sent my movies in a brown paper bag
Like either would front that extra 3 towards any charity. Which upon further thought isn't that bad because it's been about online courses long before the China virus.

No. Most Schools do not teach students, they indoctrinate them...
How about we just cut Amazons subsidies on shipping via the united states post office which is funded by tax payer dollars. Then Amazon would have to compete with normal companies that don't get special treatment from Democrats.
