Tons of money to education means 1 set of 30 books for 200+ students to share. This is the how it is at my sons school and he is expected to study from that book for tests and such, but not allowed to take the book out of the classroom. 40+ kids in 1 class with 1 teacher barely out of high school because she will work cheaper then the teacher with actual experience.

But the school that was closed down last year in my area has a awesome new blacktop and other yard equipment that is fenced off so nobody uses it. Lot's of money wasted, but the education needs better finding and better decision makers on the board.
