"Many
of us raised eyebrows when the expenditure for the
administration building was first announced, while
thinking they were surely joking. But no, all jokes
aside, while Junior walked to school toting a heavy
load of books each day, to attend classes in a
temporary building, the "supers" enjoyed their
grandiose dreams."

"Money
once spent cannot be unspent ... unless ... unless
... that grand edifice could be sold to some large
business venture and, following that, the "support
staff" put in Quonset huts. (Many of you will not
remember Quonset huts; others never heard of them
at all. Springing up during World War II, they
were somewhat like the temporary buildings we use
for classrooms, only even more temporary.) As for
the money recovered from the sale of the fancy new
building, put it where it is most needed, and no,
I don’t mean teacher’s salaries. I mean things to
directly benefit kids, like decent, clean
buildings, large enough to accommodate as many as
needs be, with lockers for all, books for all, a
library in each. From all that I read, hear, and
observe, we have top notch teachers here."
