Wasting money at the schools

schools in our area not putting the kids first

Warminster Families, do you care about the amount of money
that your tax dollars are paying for items at specific schools? I am sure
parents from all the grade/middle/high school/schools will agree that while you
pay enough in taxes and then have to pay for supplies, and im not talking about
the items you need for the first day, I am talking about extra money for art
class and so on. Now recently it has been brought to my attention that although
the new school is being built for McDonald Elementary school, with a lot of
fantastic provisions for the teachers, and some yes for the kids, but people do
they really need to upgrade a trash compactor and downgrade the children's play
items? I mean would it hurt these people not benefit from exercise, bend your
butt down and pick up the trash and throw it in the compactor. But no, the CO
went in and approved while teachers are informing the children to ask parents
for $20.00 to help pay for the playground equipment. Is this fair! I say put the trash compactor back to what it was and purchase the items for the kids, after all they need the exercise and deserve to have some good things too.

 

Second Issue, the aids at the school, please tell me why we are paying a bunch of mothers to stand around and do nothing! I mean I personally know of a child, who has a disability, who has been pushed around on the play ground, the aids do nothing! And mind you there is one who apparently is actually deaf, I mean we are speaking of little kids here, what is the school thinking putting such incompetent people in charge of the children!

Parents you need to be involved over there, the children who
are doing the bullying need to be taught a lesson in respect, the aids who are
collecting a check for talking instead of watching the kids need to be fired,
and the school has to realize kids first not the custodians, not staff, but the
kids.
