  • My former high school now charges students to participate in sports, $150 for the first sport, $75 for the second sport and the third one is free. They also went from offering seven classes down to six.

  • If you are looking to make a considerable second income visit my page.

  • Keep cutting the school budgets as the kids don't contribute much to the economy. Make sure the banks get hundreds of billions of dollars in bailouts as the bankers contribute money in tax revenue. Makes sense in Bizarro land.

  • We don`t have school buses in Holland. Parent need to bring them or the kids take a bike or walk. I`ve been going on a bike 7 miles to and 7 miles back every year to attend school. It`s completely normal in our nation. These people are spoiled.
