But doesn't compare to a ride on an urban subway for sheer terror, entertainment and graffiti.<BR/><BR/>It's important that you don't get to feeling that the cuts and the missing back pats are directly related to you as an individual, Boni. Yes, they affect you personally, but are not directed thus. IF there is no money, whether it was all poorly planned, poorly financed, poorly spent or not makes little difference in the here and now. Those things can all be improved to make the future better, but in the here and now it looks like cuts (and my opinion is they should be absolutely across the board and thus fair to all) appear to be necessary.<BR/><BR/>Lets hope and work toward things getting better in the future. But I cannot remember any school system, anywhere I have ever lived on the planet saying “thanks, we’ve got all the money we need- spend the rest elsewhere”. Won’t be happening.<BR/><BR/>Yep, it’s the kids who are ultimately shortchanged, but they are resilient and if you and your staff can get the learning attitude and the learning habit ingrained in them, they’ll be okay. Hang in there!! You’re doing a great job.Bruce A.
