That Is the stadium in the town that I grewup in. It actually went up for vote whether to build a new HS building or that. Guess what the community chose.

Bob, my wife wanted 4 kids. We settled on two because of the cost. Common sense man! Common sense!

I want a Ferrari but I cannot afford it. Want and need are different things and adults should be held responsible. Tangy believes that people who can't afford kids should still have them and that the Gov't should support them. Sadly.

Obviously common sense laws. My point was that if we live in a system where some people financially cannot afford to have 2 kids, that system needs to change.

Why?

Because I firmly believe that a human right exists to have babies.

It's relevant because it shows that schools at times prioritize money away from academia. Your argument is that schools don't have enough money. Obviously they do if they can afford to build and maintain multi million athletic facilities.

I am pretty sure that academic money is separate. I would also infer that facilities are proportionate to funding.

You would infer incorrectly.

The city SD nearest me (about 5 miles) has a Board who would rather spend money on a $1 million football field, a new baseball field, and constantly sending athletic teams to other States to play games, than on books and proper heat. Why? Because that's what the majority of parents want prioritized. It's not an issue of funding, it's an issue of priorities of the residents within the district. I'd suspect this isn't the only city SD where this happens.

That's true for some schools. It is the exception to the rule.

You're basing your opinion on what?

On American Schools, and my knowledge of Kansas schools

How many Kansas' city schools are you aware of where this happens? How many where it doesn't?
Please share your knowledge with those of us who are uninformed about what goes-on in Kansas' city schools.
I know how only 1 city SD works, so that's what I base my opinion on.

Sure, humans have that right. Humans should also have the right to live wherever they want, but if you can't afford to live in Hawaii, don't ******* move there.

I don't consider having a baby to be a luxury, thus I think that to be false equivalency.

So richer schools, on average, have worse facilities?

I appreciate that is your opinion. My opinion is, if you can't afford to support a child, don't have one.

I didn't say that. It varies from town to town. Funding seems to have no correlation.

Don't need it. As a college coach and a former HS coach there are very few HS fields I have not been to in GA.
