Where has all the money gone??

Just like the 60's song, Where has all the money gone?

1) Property tax, the lion’s share of our property tax, that just was raised over 50% or more, goes for schools. Where is the money?

2) Gambling revenues: We were told that “millions” of dollars were going to go for schools. Nothing has changed!! Where is the money?

3) Lottery revenues: We were told that “millions” of dollars were going to go for schools. Nothing has changed!! Where is the money?

4) School book cost: It costs over $100 to send a 2^nd grader to school!

a) School supplies: major shopping list by school, grade, and teacher! Additional cost for families!

b) To teach, “sharing” all purchased supplies dumped into a communal pile in class and then distributed to all!

i) Sharing: the act of giving to another something of yours out of kindness.

ii) Communal: “communism” the forced giving of all of your possessions into a mass pile for distribution to all. How does this teach sharing?

iii) Capitalism: entrepreneurial system: The ability for anyone and everyone to be able to excel to their desired level and gain the rewards of their accomplishments. If you have more then you can share it with your fellow man. The American Way. We have been doing this since 1776!

Dry eraser and highlighters for 2^nd graders, I think not must be TEACHER SUPPLIES!
