Lunch from Hell

As we probably all know, APS lunches aren’t the best. Alright, they’re probably the worst food that they could get their hands on. As I walked down the 6th grade hall to lunch today I began to gag on the smell of old tuna fish. This may not seem odd to some people but let me just say that today’s lunch was hamburgers. HOW DO HAMBURGERS SMELL LIKE ROTTEN FISH?!?!

The fact that we are eating meat with questionable virtue on bread that is 75% air seems to be the fault of the school district. Prioritizing is always a good thing, and the APS school district is incredibly lacking in that respect. Being the child of a teacher and having hung around with teachers while they rant I have managed to pick up a few bits of information.

Most schools in APS are equipped with out-of-date text books, crappy restroom facilities (pardon the pun), and either no computers or a few seriously messed up computers. On the other hand, some schools are getting ELECTRONIC KIOSKS!!! THESE SCHOOLS DON’T EVEN HAVE ART SUPPLIES!!! Do they want to ADVERTISE THAT FACT OR SOMETHING?!?!

Everyone is griping about the lack of government funding for public education which is definitely part of the problem, but there is a lot that we can do with what we have. When schools get new computers those computers don’t go to other schools or salvage yards or anything. THEY GO INTO STORAGE!!! If we could just reuse these computers then some schools with no computers would at least have something. Before we try to get more government funding for education, maybe we should try putting what we already have to good use.
