Atlanta Schools Cut Music Programs

[tbn.al]

i am familiar with one of the affected programs. It was in an elementary school of 600+ students and there were only 11 in the band program. These are electives in addition to the regular elementary music classes. I don't see how you can justify spending $20,000+(half time position) for 11 kids. The district allowed them to participate in another program close by and reassigned the teacher. No big deal folks.

See if they're still letting them do that in five years..............

btw, if you still own a house in one of these bankrupt cities, that makes you a "stockholder".

Reminds me of the Andy Griffin episode when a citizen uncovers a Civil War era Muni Bond he threatens to cash and bankrupt Mayberry.

...During my pre-age-21 educational system interaction (elementary/secondary/kolij)... no toilet paper...

As someone who intentionally 'scheduled' myself to poop at school, this is a disturbing notion.

We had that institutional individual 3in square TP in elementary school.

How unsanitary!!

Wound up with poop-finger nearly every time.
