More money going into the schools? We don’t need renovation.......remember when schools were one room buildings? I think my parents and grand parents did pretty good with schools like this.”””
I attended a one room school, as did all 3 of my brothers.
We all have been self-employed for the past 30+ number of years. They all have had employees—as many as 65—in their lives as self-employed. I was alone with my business.
We got a superior education in that one room school—no running water, so it was brought in every day in a 10 gallon milk can & put into a ceramic dispensor. The 2-hole toilets were out back. A merry-go-round was our only playground entertainment.
I would NOT trade those years or being in elementary school in that time period for one single minute of being in a school today.
WHEN EXACTLY would all these ‘renovations’ occur?
School is just starting up again in most of the country. Shutting down buildings for renovation during the school year—when kids don’t learn squat in the first place-—if another game of double speak.
The quality of education is not measured by how fresh the paint is on the walls. PERIOD.
