Government rant....

Ok times are tough right now... everybody every has to find ways to cut corners, including our local governments... But what gets me is there are certain things that jsut shouldnt be touched.... and one is education it irks me beyond belief that in stead of cutting administrations you are askign schools to cut out stuff.. liek special teachers, special ed teachers arent a luxtury they are a need.. adn then to expect the regular teachers to take over that responsiblity is insane... the schools here in hawaii are bare minimum... no ac, kids sweat they are required to bring bottled water with them so they dont dehydrate, they dont have play ground eqip ment... they run aroudn playign chase in a half dirt area... very few balls...the class numbers are insane..The teachers already teach music.. adn they only get P.E. once every 2 weeks cuase they only have one teacher for 900 kids.. kearas class has 33 in it already adn they are adding more... they can bring home books cause there arent enough... adn they want them to cut more budgets... whats next? less teachers? lets jstu drop out english they can do with out that.... our school doesnt evenahve a kitchen the food is cooked at a nearby middle school adn then taken to our kids... i dont understand how this is acceptable? But there are very few alternatives, one is paying 600 a month PER CHILD for private school, and te second is home school them.. neither are really options that will work for us... first who they hell has 1800 a month plus uniforms and books to send thekids to private school? adn home schooling is somethign you have to alot to do... i am not paitent enough or smart enough.... so i am stuck to complain and struggle through with mu children hoping that what they are getting is enough.... adn pray to return to the mainland where schools are at least beter equipped....
