Wasting tax payer money?

I went out for diner last night and the conversation turned to budget cuts in our public schools. Our district had taken a heavy hit within the last year we lost almost all if not all of our state aide. We ponder why it appears our BOE (board of ed) and superintendent are spending money are silly lawsuits instead of putting that money into the schools. During the conversation about our schools, I was saying that it is amazing how school staff members want to take the credit for a student who gets into a Harvard, Brown, Yale, etc.. That somehow the school believes they made that student, rather than realizing this student worked hard, took the advance courses etc.

We hardly hear about the work ethic of the students, rather we hear how our schools make these students. Sorry but it is the students that make the schools. Again this is only in my district. Wouldn't it be nice to see that our schools actually care about the students all students. Wouldn't it be nice to see tax payer monies going into our schools, and school programs. This seems much better to me. But, no it is sometimes spent on re-naming school buildings after staff members, security panels outside bathrooms, teacher conference's and lawsuits that have already been lost but lets appeal.

Lets start putting the money where it belongs, to the children.
