[not bad for a jarhead...]
I have my days! But more importantly, I have tried to work “in the system” and the system SUCKS! I have been on school boards and their sub-committees and they are a waste of good tax money! Most public schools (89%+) are a waste of good tax money!
The system is about separating you from your money! Think about this:
Less kids in a school means less money from the state/feds, so they need more money to continue to operate!
More kids in a school means they need more money for space/teachers/supplies in order to continue to operate!
School has failing grades, they need more money to provide better books/curriculum/etc.. to keep operating!
School has passing grades, they need more money to expand those programs to more kids in the school!
They NEVER ask for less money - NEVER EVER!
The same for police departments, fire departments, etc...
A few years back, our local police department “down sized” due to people moving out of the city. They asked for a larger budget so that they could get better and more training for those “stretched” officers that were left on the force! The city started growing again, so guess what!?!?! The police dept now needs more money to hire more cops!
The system is BROKEN beyond repair! Let’s melt it down and start over!
