Taxes and Education

Do we really need to build big fancy over-designed school buildings? What a waste of tax dollars. Some study suggests that our kids learn better in the new schools. Bah! I went to some pretty run down old schools and some fancy new ones. I tell you what, me and the other kids couldn't care less if the walls were round, blue or salmon, brick, tile, or cheese cloth. I wouldn't have cared if they were just a bunch of crayon scratches. The reason the students learn more in the newer buildings is because the teachers are happy. New buildings mean new toys for them. So lets cut the crap, repaint the old buildings, and buy lots of new toys to keep the teachers happy, and get on with the job of education! Instead of trying to impress the other schools.
