I got a solution. Have all the kids stay at home and learn via the intenet. The schools can downsize to miniclassrooms where 4 or 5 can learn comfortably. The schools can then sell all the buses and the extra land. They can lay off all the bus drivers and custodians. With the extra money, they can buy each student a computer that doesn't have one. Then the few students that can't keep up, they will be forced to come in to learn in one of the miniclassrooms. Also, with the extra money, they can hire extremely highly qualified teachers who otherwise often go into other fields due to the low finances.

The stuff that a person can sue for is ridiculous these days. And its changing the world..and not for the better.

This isn't Pistons related, but it is hysterical society and school related.

I remember in like 2sd grade this kid got sick and couldn't come to skoo. So they put a 2 way speaker in the class and at his home. That was very High tech for 1959. I think he did fine.
