Teaching ate me alive

16. Yes that money is being funneled to schools BUT

it's only a fraction of a percent of the total yearly budget for education in the state. It's certainly not enough to solve any funding problems.

Also, it gets dumped into the general fund first and then trickles out to the state dept of education. So the state could spend it on anything they want if they decided to do that.

So no, I didn't notice an increase in spending for education after this money started coming in. In fact, if I am ever again asked to vote on a source of revenue that is going to education, like this gambling money, I'll vote NO. For 20 years the voters in MO have believed the schools are well funded from the casino profits and that's never happened. I believed it too; we lived in MO at the time and I voted YES. Never again though. We were duped.

Next time you hear something negative about the KCPS, remember you know me and there are about a thousand more just like me working there. So many good stories are never told. We have schools that outperform the suburbs but the media never tells you about them.
