Imagine.
Imagine $10m being spent on what really matters.
At $80k per, 125 desperately needed new school busses for the state.
A homeless shelter or three, or five, around the state.
A domestic violence shelter or three, or five, around the state.
Marriage counseling before marriage to lower the domestic violence statistics.
Mental health counseling clinics, to help people before they solve their little problems, with guns.
Imagine.
Imagine an educational facility built to educate students academically and vocationally, because not all want to nor should, go to college, at least not right away.
Imagine students taking all on-line courses at home, and venturing out to apprentice jobs in the afternoon, learning a trade and earning school credits.
Imagine students who want to play sports, signing up for local teams and paying their own way.
Imagine students who to play an instrument, signing up for local lessons and paying their own way.
Imagine no public funds wasted on a school library for a generation who cannot read and cares not a whit about wanting to do so.
Imagine an entire student body of athletes not put at death risk through CTE and other injury possibilities, by banning football (heresy in the South). Imagine the savings to taxpayers of not having to build another Friday night stadium for four home games annually, not having to foot the light bill, the insurance bill, the medical bills, the traveling bills, the equipment bills.
Imagine this state climbing out of the bottom ten of national education rankings, and becoming a shining example of progress and forward-thinking actions.
Imagine.
Nah....what's worked/damaged our kids in the past and present, is just fine with us.
