What's even more nuts is that this goes for teachers, too. It's skilled labor, requiring years of college, in demand practically everywhere; yet the pay is shit and part of it has to go to stocking your classroom.
Meanwhile, the school board members just voted themselves each a new, fully-paid SUV.

Sometimes, the school board just assigns themselves new "recreation centers" on school property that are for themselves only with administrative bowling alleys and the like and just about no one else even gets a chance to look in those very important allocations of scarce resources.
What the fuck? That’s a new one I haven’t heard before. Where I grew up even if the admins skimmed every last cent they could there wasn’t anywhere near enough money going around to build a bowling alley regardless of who was allowed to use it.
My district fucking sucks and the college I went to had the same problem: telling students that they will have to pay more and get less but then building "administrative centers" on campus that no one goes to but the PMC fucks and it's basically just a place for them to fuck off and look down on everyone else.
I've told this story before but I'll tell it here again and now: one of the most Jokerfying moments I've ever had as a teacher was when my district's newsletter said that there was a budget shortfall and that we all had to tighten our belts and sacrifice and so on... and on the next page there was this big announcement of the poshest high school in the district getting a new stadium... for the same amount as the shortfall.
