The people who run our schools are just full of great ideas. stare
-Let's fire all of the really good teachers to save money!
-Let's start taking graduation credits from the tenth grade!
-Let's conduct Provincial Exams at the end of the year!
-Let's buy textbooks for the math exams with incomplete information!
-Let's use 15 dollar workbooks in place of the texts..
-And let's not buy enough of them!
-Let's charge 1.50 for a can of pop in the vending machine!
-Let's sell the desks so that we don't have enough for the students!
-Let's withdraw a few of our students from the school!
-Let's not run courses such as Info Tech and German!
-Let's fire all of the TAs!
-Let's charge 20 dollars for a locker!
And that's just the tip of the iceberg in their plans to save money. Here's the real kicker:
After all of these measures etc. our district is still more than 3 MILLION dollars in debt.
Ah, the joys of what I like to call "Welfare School".

Okay, I find this just insulting.
Wind From Hurricane for Sale on eBay
By RACHEL LA CORTE, Associated Press Writer
MIAMI - For anyone who didn't get enough of Hurricane Frances as it blew through Florida, remnants of the storm are for sale.
More than 170 items were listed on eBay's Internet auction site Monday, a day after the eye of the Category 2 storm came ashore.
The starting bid for Tupperware filled with wind was a penny. Photos showed Broward County residents running around with the containers "catching" the wind. Surprisingly, someone had already bid $10 for one of the four containers.
Somebody had bid $6.99 for beach sand a Broward County surfer had collected. Three Frances survivors had bid 15 cents each to have a woman pray for them.
One-cent vials of rain that fell in Orlando as the storm passed over had no bids. Neither did a woman's offer to sell the T-shirt she wore during the storm, nor did the request by a Longwood resident for someone to help get a large oak tree off of the seller's home and car.
"Winning bidder will receive branches, leaves, sticks, stumps, whatever you would like!" ... What a conversation piece! ... You can own a part of meteoroligical (sic) history!"
Carol Baroudi, industry analyst and author of The Internet For Dummies, said "I think these are all tongue in cheek. I don't think anyone's serious about these things. I think it's trying to find a sense of humor, which is a good thing."
Ebay has canceled auctions that coincide with tragedies, such as items billed as debris from the space shuttle Columbia or pieces of the World Trade Center and Pentagon (news - web sites).
Ebay officials did not return a phone call seeking comment about the Frances auctions.
When Hurricane Charley tore through southwest Florida, causing 27 deaths and billions of dollars in damages, the same type of auctions popped up. Pieces of damaged homes, signs and bottled rain all made it to eBay.
"It's a different kind of thing," Baroudi said. "So far I don't think it's crossed the line of totally tasteless. I don't see anybody being victimized by this stuff. I've seen a lot of positive stuff here."
But some people in the path of Frances didn't find the humor in the various auctions. The storm damaged homes and businesses and at least four people were killed.
"This is a disaster," said 77-year-old Gloria Aragona, who was evacuated with her husband from their Palm Bay mobile home. "It's nothing to make money on."
