Funding for Technology Classes?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday September 23, 2006 @11:43AM from the proper-priorities-for-education dept.

SelfTaught asks; "My school district recently built a brand new football stadium and athletics field-house, both with state of the art electronics; yet when asked about implementing a computer science class district officials reply with, 'This is a property poor school district.' Apparently property poor school districts have 20 foot plasma scoreboards and multi-million dollar athletic training facilities. As a pubescent high school student, I'm not very happy with the way my district spends the money my parents pay for my education. How can I encourage my district to provide more technology classes? If I can't get technology education in school, then what would be the best way to teach myself?"

5 years ago, on 9/11/2001, 3200 people died of heart disease or cancer.

And 3200 people, of no fault of their own, died by the hands of cowards. These 3200 people, save an unforseen tragedy, would have seen 09/12/2001 had it not been for fundamentalists who continue to kill in the name of God. Jerkoff.
