321A Wrestler,
You seem to have interest in knowing who hides behind their posting name as well!

I thought you were a CCC student from the NCKL so I found a name and went with it. That person would have been 14, approximately, in 2002 so I thought it was feasible. It really doesn't matter but if I knew what town you were from then I could give you some specific examples so I would be speaking directly from your perspective! It is not bullying, just curiosity.

A school cannot exist without funding. Funds have to come from jobs that are generating monies from outside of your town or community. Teaching jobs do not generate funds nor do administrators. Most western Kansas small, shrinking towns rely on agriculture as their primary resource for funds. A significant percentage of those monies are derived from government subsidies. A town cannot and should not exist just because their is a high school. 321A, let go, you are in denial! If you don't have an industry that generates jobs and a significant tax base then you should not have a shool. You are wasting your tax dollars and getting less for them and siphoning off some of mine too! I will pick on Rooks County again since I am quite sure, no matter who you are, that you are familiar with that area. They have three school districts which means they have three superintendants that drain your educational funds by $75.000 to $100,000 each. There are 235 high school kids in the top three grades of those three districts. Blue Valley has nearly 5,000 students and only one superintendant. Do we need to go on with the examples or is the picture getting clearer for you?

Why should schools with more students get more say...surely you are familiar with the electoral college and the house of representatives. They did teach you about those things in your dieing 321A high school didn't they?

Again, if you have an 8 man football team, look around, someone within 45 minutes of you has another one. Consolidate, put 11 guys on the field, put your tax dollars to better use, provide a better edcuational opportunity for your youths, and stop wasting my tax dollars.
