I understand your position, but I hope you realize that if the fat and waste was cut from the Administration, as suggested by the people who always seem to post here we probably could have afforded to have the right number of teachers (you know, the ones on the lower end of the payscale, but affect our children the most)in the first place and we wouldn't be having this conversation. Don't blame the voters for having the children's best issues at heart, blame the spineless politicians who can, but won't, meet the wishes of the public...and are never held to account for their failure to do so.
