What is an assistant? I agree with the comments below. She must be a teacher. Want to know where the black hole is? Fuel for buses (nearly $4 a gallon), free breakfast for students (when I was a kid we ate at home before going to school) How much does it cost to feed all the kids breakfast every day? Foam trays and plastic spoons at lunch (we had trays that were washed), internet service fees, salaries for the IT people to fix all the computers,new computers every 4-5 years, free textbooks for kids (we had to rent or buy them when I was in school)... These are all things the school system is now paying for that they didnt used to pay for. Parents used to pay for all that. That money has to come from somewhere! So before you start bashing teachers or the school system for draining you dry financially, consider how much you are saving now versus what you parents had to pay when you were in school.
