administrators across the nation have started to view school libraries as luxuries that can be axed rather than places where kids learn to love reading and do research.

The problem has less to with the teachers, students, or even money than it has to do with the 'administrators'. Generally over-paid bureaucrats. Multiplying as we speak. You want to find the waste in education across the nation? Fire half the bureaucrats. Give all the teachers a hefty raise.

Things have changed a lot since I was in schoo. The English teacher had the library in her room and she took care of it. Of course it wasnt much of a library.

With all the Computers in schools now is a library really a necessity? Reference’s are pretty easy to find in Computers.

teachers already have hefty enough salaries and benefits....and THAT is the problem.....everything must be destroyed to keep the teachers the fat and happy in they’re part time work...
