Dean's World uses and recommends:
I have to wonder about the money being spent at today's schools. My kids' school just recently redid all of the lighting for their stage. A conservative guess would be that it came in around $50,000 (all new cans, new light board, new multi's in the back, plus curtains to cover all of it). This replaced all of the gear that was installed when the school was built about four years ago.
And they have new computers every year. Nice flat screens. Plus cloth banners all around the school with their "life skills". And projectors in every classroom, and major room as well. Not cheap ones either.
And now that they are looking at dropping my $3k property tax bill, cutting money from them will mean "job cuts, loss of programs, etc".
It really has moved from "teaching kids" to a "jobs program for teachers".
It's too bad really. There are some really good teachers out there that have a heart for their students. It's a shame to see them tossed in with the mass of so-called teachers that think the public education system exists only to pay their bills.
Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
