Just wondering. For me, there is no 8th Grade Graduation this year, and years to come. No dipolma's will be given out. Next year all after school activities are going to be cut (basketball, football, volleyball, etc). There's a lot more, which I'm trying to remember, but this is he only ones that currently stick out of my mind.
What about you guys?
8th grade graduation and diplomas are pretty fucking meaningless anyway, let's face it they should have been scrapped to save money long ago
Guitar was cut last year, not enough people wanted to do it this year.
Heard rumors about their being another class being cut next year, forget which one.
- We got 10 new HDTVs in the cafeteria.
- We get real food now.
- Our basketball team is sponsored by converse. (D.Wade went here. Google it.)
- All clubs get $500 at the beginning of the year instead of $200.
- Our teachers are paid about 60k a year.
My school is the shit? o_o
Well aren't you special:cool:.Quote:

If im not mistaken...Do you live in California?? My friend told me California schools are doing quite bad. No graduation???! thats just something you have to do
asdhakdjhadjkdha.
I live in California & everything is going to be shit now.
Yesterday, lots of teachers wore pink.
Because they might get the pink slip
to be laid off :X
meaning less classes
more students in classes
less summer school classes
you still have to raise money if you're in a team sport to pay for your equipments even more
less field trips D:<
and moaaaaaar.
All we got is less summer school classes. (In NY)
I go to a public school near Chicago (suburb). Then again, Illinois has the highest taxes, so our schools aren't being hit as hard. (Or at all in my case.)
Where do you live (no pedo)?Quote:

My school is pretty awesome. It's very modernized (well, the building is new...). The only thing I see that are disappearing are certain elective classes. But, I believe that's because not many students enrolled in those classes.
My school may, we just had an announcement around...Wednesday about the state wanting to build a street around my schools main tax profit area, which means we'd lose millions of dollars each year (or billions, can't remember what they said exactly). So we had to sign stuff saying we wanted them to take a different route they were thinking about doing. (live in IL to, about 2+ miles from chicago :p)Quote:

We use half of our TVs for cartoon network and the other half for adultish shows and sports.Quote:

lol well you guys are a bit luckier I guess. My high school is a bit stricter, we have tv's by the fitness area. They're always on to new, sports, and some random gameshow. Were not allowed to touch them though. One kid went to turn one up a little bit, Gym teacher saw someone telling him not to do it after he did it, and he got in trouble.Quote:

Well, my mom was a kindergarten teacher, and her classroom was closed down do to a drop in government funding. Luckily, she was promoted just before it happened.
My school isn't affected at all and it has been in heavy debt for the past 5 years.
how come? all schools are being affected.. u_uQuote:

look for Italy on the second page's left bracket before the state match. thats how close we were lol.

Nothing much being cut up here in canada (School-wise)
Since we pay our taxes, they have no choice but to give it to us
It's not just in the USA, at my school we've had a good few teachers made redundant or transfered elsewhere, all of our subjects aren't available in teo columns for our option choices (we pick what subjects we do for our Highers/A Levels), reduction in the materials the school can give to pupils i.e paper, jotters, homework sheets, plus alot more. My local council got hit pretty hard, between the legs if I do say so.
I did not seen anything getting cut yet, but I think music will be first thing to gol.
i totally agree with your idea
I live in Canada where we pay taxes that are ridiculous comparing it to Americas. Oh look, nothing is changing over here :)
Grade 8 grad is useless and should have never happened. I don't even remember why I got a diploma in grade 8,,,, dumbest thing ever.
