In the 25 years we've lived in the town, in Upstate, NY, the school has tripled in size. They concentrated on Science and Sports. They had a Science teacher that won more awards and brought in more grant money than the tax money that the town brought in.
The sports teams won many championships.

But they lost their way and the Science was gone. After this teacher who received an award presented to him by the President, had his budget cut in half. He retired and now teaches in a college and makes 10 times what he did here.

The big sports department pushed through a large budget awhile back so they could build an Olympic size swimming pool for competing.
Well it seems someone was taking back handers, because after all was said and done, they got the pool built, and it's huge. But, they can't compete because whoever they hired to build it, built it with the wrong dimensions. So it isn't regulation size.

They had to buy out the Superintendent’s contract to get him to leave.
Why hasn't anyone gone to jail? No one has even been fired. While the rest of the country is laying teachers off like crazy, our teachers are getting raises.
What a country.

Sorry for the rant, but I had to get it out. When we came here, we thought had come to heaven.
