I'm sort of typing whatever comes to mind so my apologies if it's unorganized:
As a future educator, I find funding for schools to be very very important. I am so glad the referendum passed, I'm not so glad it took this long. I know they're finally getting out of the red, now they can continue prospering and have resources we never had. Josh is somewhat right in that education doesn't need money. We need to pay teachers and staff somehow. What about building mantinence and new resources. Computers, and other technology is getting huge, we need to stay on track with todays advancing world and prepare the kids for what's coming after they graduate. The U of M is going through the same thing right now with a budget/distribution crisis. State funding has been cut (thanks for nothing trickle down theory) and we're getting hit with it. I know the St. Francis thing was partly the fauslt of administrators but it seems things are on track now. It cam eto eliminationg teachers jobs. That's a sign that something's wrong and it needs to be fixed.
ok over now cause I need to do some HW, more later possibly.
