It means larger class sizes and less time for individual instrution.
It means fewer teachers and not even a cost of living raise for those who remain.
That, Ustwo, is what it really means.
And those are just the effects I happen to know about.
Now please tell me how any of these are a "good" thing?

Labelle states play a game. Its called 'Won't someone please think of the children', at least thats what I call it. What they do is fund EVERYTHING else, pork and all, and THEN get to the schools. That way they can say 'we have no money for the schools, we MUST raise taxes.' If you did it the other way around and said 'we have no money for the resurfacing of highway 31, and new tennis courts at the park in state rep Y's district'' you would find a lot less caring. If the state is 800 MILLION in the hole someone somewhere really fucked up and cuts NEED to be made.
Why does it cost so much more now as a percentage then before?
