While I would love to have a hundred thousand dollar budget where every kid gets the materials they need for the classroom (i.e. a single student line tuba is close to $4k) and I would have a "competitive" salary, it is not wise to get the money from taxes. The schools have PLENTY of money, honestly! It is just not used wisely.
Bear, please don't think I am trying to argue with you. I am truly curious as to your opinion. Since you state, "it is not wise to get the money from taxes", where do you think the funding should come from to pay for the schools, your salary, the buildings,etc?
