Me too. Let's toughen these kids up, for pity's sake. Why, when I was in school I didn't get to go to school in a trailer. I had to walk! Both ways! Through 8' snow drifts! Nobody took me to school in a trailer!

It does look like a great town.

My guess is, since Greenfield Village is sort of an "Industrial Revolution" showcase, the school isn't just a bunch of Pullman cars scattered around but a proper school built using the cars in much the same way as those old Victoria Station restaurants did. Neat idea.

I got to sit in a proper class room. But, my Highschool was built in 1911. No a/c, steam heat, twelve foot ceilings, large single pane windows, and fourty miles south of Lake Erie.

A modern trailer might have been a relief.

As you can probably tell, you know how I voted. Before you go lumping me into one party or another, I have never voted against anything that benefited our schools or children. This time they were asking for way too much at the worse time possible.Grumpy

HOW DARE YOU!

Sounds like my Alma Mater, other than the location. Either miserable hot or miserable cold.

I hate those damn old boilers.

Mine was not hard to heat since it only had one room, that is until they added the seccond room.

I think that I have mentioned before that I grew up in a small town and I was not kidding. It was only later in high school that I attended a large multi-roomed school.

hey folks, been out of town(at least this town) for some time.

Taxes and schools - GRRRR...................... WARNING RANT ON!

Wish I had my health back just for a couple of years. I'd go absolutely nuts on the school districts here. I would love to be the superintendant for a few years. If I were the super, the board we even be afraid of me. Yeah I am disgusted with the issues in our school system.

I'd clean house on the bastards. Our school district is broke and absolutely corrupt. They put up a new vote every election for more money, doesn't matter how much they get, they are always broke.

Here is hte kicker, I used to work for them, the amouynt they waste is beyond phenominal.

We need a person in that position that can be mean and nasty as heck, but completely ethical too. I wish some maverick could go in and open all the books, devote time to them and start the house cleaning.


Don't get me wrong, I'd gladly open my wallet and give all I got for the kiddo's. In our district I think the money and the kiddo's are mutually exclusive.

And lastly, lets talk about hte moron voters in this city. Several years ago after the Bronco's won the superbowl in Denver, there were two ballots on the vote(well many but two I am going to talk about).
One ballot asked for a tax to be imposed to build a new stadium for the Broncos(yeah a private multi-million dollar enterprise being funded bt taxes). It passed without a problem

At the same time, there was a ballot that asked for a tax increase to help the developmentally disabled - to help cover the shortfall in funds for housing and daily care - it didn't hardly get a vote.

It's our own damm fault we are so screwed!
