Re: Right...

The school doesn't need more money; it needs to spend the money it has well. For one thing if the school doesn't have enough money how could it afford to replace all the iMacs in the school with the crappy new lamps (they didn?t even bother selling the computers because they were scared some kid was going to get some important document or something so they recycled them all), and are planning on putting a fire place in the lunch room. The jewelry department got brand new desks, and the tech department new chairs all of which they more than likely paid too much money for. Our schools are still over funded, they just don't know how to use money wisely, and I believe it's something near 80% of the states budget goes to education. That is far too much. Not just that but our teachers are some of the highest paid in the United States, making upwards of 60 thousand a year, and yet they complain that they don't have enough money. I have a 5 person family and we live just fucking fine on $30,000 a year. Also I know for a fact that the superintendent makes upwards of $130,000 a year. If the school could buy more previously used things just imagine how much they could save, "Why buy new when slightly used will do?" It?s like a slap in the face when they ask for more money. The problem is they don't care, it's not their money, they have a never ending flow of tax payer money and when Ventura pointed this out they felt threatened. The school system is like a little girl who always gets what she wants. I say for once tell the little girl to shut the hell up and slap her.

Oh, and Paul Welstone was a communist
