Being School District Admin?
Bananatree3 asks: "I am a high schooler in a fairly large school district, and have always wondered what it is like to manage a large school network. What is it like to be a school district admin? What kind of unique things do you have to do that are outside the realm of 'normal' IT departments? When is the most hectic/slow time for you? How big of a network do you manage? Also, do you have any favorite stories about being a school district IT admin?"
That's simple. Libertarians tend to want government staying out of where it doesn't belong. This particularly applies to the Federal government. There is nothing unconstitutional about a public school system... as long as the Federal has absolutely nothing to do with it. If the residents of an area vote to have such a thing, then fine, that's their democratic decision. I don't always like the idea of public schooling, because of the many conflicts and waste that are often involved, but I also can't say it would be right to force my neighboring town to not have one.
