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".
