Bad Education

My problem with schools is the lack of funding. My sister being a high school social studies teacher complains on a regular basis that the schools in our district don't even have one text book per child. To me that is tragic. How can we possibly hold our children accountable for failing grades and lack of intrest in expanding thier knowledge independantly when they don't even have the tools to do so.

I have two children in elementary school, and will have three next year. They never bring home any kind of text books. I want them to be bright little educated people. And the fact that they have to share text books in class, and cannot bring them home to study, or help with homeowrk, is quite alarming. It seems to me, that lack of funding is limiting the education they will be able to recieve. Granted, they can acess the internet and libraries, but in the area we live in I am certain this isn't always the case. What about those children, the ones who have to depend on what the school provides them, when the school isn't providing?

The good news is, we have a wonderful stadium in our city, and the roads are in excellent condition.
