I just heard that my old high school cancelled all math classes beyond algebra because of the poor budget, and to get its test scores up (apparently its a loophole in the NCLBA that allows that), and also heard similar stories from other people across the country, and want to know if this is true for some of you guys as well. USA btw.

>poor budget
Oh jeez, I guess the sports team will have to wear the same jerseys for a second year in a row now.

>not having fixed nationwide study plans all schools have to follow

That's pretty much the root of the problem.

Yeah, that always struck me as kind of odd when I was still in high school. "Why change the jerseys every damn year?" I still don't understand it.

Would you wear clothes some other disgusting jock filled with his own sweat?

This, by the way, is the reason I never played sports.

Dont believe what the teachers union and democrats want you to.

They don't make you wear the same shirt someone else did (at least mine didn't), it's just why change the design for the clothes each year instead of using the same ones reoccuringly?

It's a statistical fact we spend more on military than science and education: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget

My school used the same uniforms every year I was there. My youngest brother is in tennis, and they have to pay for their own jerseys. The uniforms did get updated since I've been there but it wasn't every year.
