I bet this school is also saying that tax payers aren't contributing enough to the educational system, they need more money for things like books, more teachers, new computers, and a big screen T.V. in the teachers lounge.
  • elleigh2, on 08/24/2008, -0/+3How sad is that? I am just shaking my head. I don't even want GPS in my car. "Big Brother is watching over everyone"! Our freedoms are eroding more everyday. It is up to the parents and students to take responsibility for their attendance at school not the school district! That is not teaching them personal responsibility.
