Quote:Same here, but the 12 sports teams get new uniforms and equipment every two years, and the Olympic sized pool is maintained and heated year round. About 20 extra curricular activities, with chaperones, get bussed around the country to compete with other similar sized schools. But, yes, in the grade school the teachers have to beg for crayons, wet wipes, and other necessities. I believe we also have almost as many non-teachers on the payroll as there are teachers.
This is a big scandal and I can see why you are upset about this.
It touches the remark I made some time ago about certain 'not very important things' are made too important in our societies (in terms of financial support for example).
