I've learned so much, and we thought we were self reliant. Reliance only came when my husband had a job. We are employed once again and digging ourselves out of a hole but there is light at the end of the tunnel. <br />so sorry you are seeing good friends suffer and worry.tiki_ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514668932799794084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505756339288246815.post-70954495060915978342010-03-19T23:15:33.027-06:002010-03-19T23:15:33.027-06:00I just wonder where all the tax dollars are going....I just wonder where all the tax dollars are going. We pay a huge amount of taxes, and superintendents and administrators make big money. The schools are run down, and falling apart. It disgust me on so many levels. <br /><br />I send my children to a private school, yet I pay for the public school. Everyone has to pay for the public schools, so there is NO excuse for the schools being in the condition they are in today.<br /><br />The nearest public school to us allows the parents to give donations to the school, and many do. They are rebuilding the school because they have been given so much extra money from the parents. <br /><br />I understand that not every school could come up with extra money for their school and to pay the teachers a bonus. <br /><br />What is so sad is the amount of money that is paid to athletes and actors, and the little bit of money that is paid to our teachers. Why not have a percentage of the entertainment industry kick in to contribute to education? A percentage of the television shows, movies, and games should go to schools. Many of the children that are suffering from a lack of education find the funding for these recreational activities...why not give back to the people that support them?Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567523164145628088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505756339288246815.post-4256125225564430282010-03-19T22:46:18.092-06:002010-03-19T22:46:18.092-06:00Cut backs are hard.

I have been through a lot of them through the years and it's never easy even when you aren't the one leaving.<br /><br />It is sad that teachers are part of the cut backs. Education is so important.<br /><br />Hang in there....Tammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14049355043795581765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505756339288246815.post-59941920738412707392010-03-19T13:26:31.451-06:002010-03-19T13:26:31.451-06:00I can't believe they are cutting down on educa...I can't believe they are cutting down on education!
