That reminded me, Pa...
Sudan has come up with a $10,000,000,000 plan to remake some of its cities into the shapes of animals. This, in a country where the vast majority of the people live on about $400/yr.

Talk about asinine..... over half a BILLION (578 million) dollars for a public school.
Thats ONE school.....
The Robert F. Kennedy Community School (K thru 12) was built on the site of the old Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles where RFK was assassinated, & was approved by voters.
The faculty & staff lounge looks like a trendy, four star Hollywood restaurant.

I saw this on the news this morning.
I wonder how long it will take for some disgruntled sophomore to throw an M80 down a toilet?

Voters approved that building at the height of the economy, and even though the economy tanked, the cost had already been approved by the voters, so there was no reason to curtail expenses. If it was a house, it'd be under water, and possibly in foreclosure. |

Yeah, they reported all that about it being voted for during good economic times & that once it was approved, there was nothing else the money could legally be spent on, but no matter how good the economy was, HALF A BILLION DOLLARS for ONE SCHOOL is outrageous!!
Those people (the ones who voted for it AND the ones who conceived & planned it) need their heads examined!!!!

That's what I call taking Lemons and making a half a billion dollars worth of Lemonaide out of it.

"New buildings are nice, but when they're run by the same people who've given us a 50 percent dropout rate, they're a big waste of taxpayer money...."
.....................
Maybe this will improve- being such a lovely looking school.

So IOW, you're saying that these buildings are being run by under achieving teenagers & their crappy, uninvolved, unconcerned, apathetic parents?
