Reply #196: They dump that disinfecting gel on kids hands and send them off to eat

[happy_liberal]

Just that alone, and the way this 'method' has spread so rapidly throughout the states makes me wonder...who owns these products they force us to buy? People really think that dumping some crap gel on their hands is cleaning them. No one wonders whether it is good to eat that stuff as it is on your hands... transfers to sandwich. I think germs might be healthier.


But the one thing I really want to say is that there is plenty of money in the schools. But just like every other organization, and particularly the schools, there is a large group of people paid huge sums to SIT ON ASS in some building. There are so many freaking administrators making $100,000 a year, paid to sit in their office with their big titles, going out to power lunches and feeling important meanwhile doing very little to help educate children.

Just because money is going to the schools does not mean it is well spent. They have huge budgets for computer software for instance, but instead of making the best use of that money, they spend most of it buying the new microsoft office for 60 computers every year or other such nonsense.

Just like our local boys and girls club. They get a grant for 30,000 for "computer security" (huh?) but they had to shut down over the summer because of no funds. I dunno but I think having a safe place to go all summer is more important than "computer security" which they could probably find a program for free online.

I think there is still pleny of money going to schools, it needs to be better distributed. As long as the parents keep buying these basic supplies like kleenex...they will keep jacking everyone around. But hey Bill Gates is doing well for himself. Anyone wonder what percentage of education dollars goes to microsoft?
