A school district in my state doesn’t have the funds to stay open

Meanwhile they’re giving millions in breaks to the rich people in my state. 1600 kids can’t go to school now until they deal with this. They’re getting a loan but they have to cut 19 teachers and extra curricula actives from the school. Our government is so broke and corrupt we can’t even afford basic education anymore.

The kids shouldn’t have to suffer

@AthrillatheHunt true. Most of the kids going there live in poverty too.

@Captainjackass to say the system is not designed to keep some down is laughable

@AthrillatheHunt yeah. It’s only a matter of time until more schools follow. Its designed to keep the poor down while they give all the funding to the rich kid schools.

@Captainjackass 50% drop out / graduation rates bc they are so far behind . I know the story .

@AthrillatheHunt some teachers really care but most of them and the school staff don’t give a shit. They don’t care that kids drop out or don’t even try. Combine that with low funding and kids don’t have a chance.
