That's really what my tech teacher says.

A.k.a where all the school funding goes.

140 macs in 7 labs, costing slightly over 2000 dollars each to the school. We can only use safari. No programs
Sports team has money left over. Goes to 5 star mother fucking resturaunt every time they win. paid for by school.
FIRST team wins competition with a robot valued at over 25,000 dollars (we got that money from fucking washing cars), against hundreds of people around the country, and every senior in our group gets scolarship. We dont even get mentioned on the school's morning announcements.
Gym redone 6 times this year, because it doesnt look right. Windows computer lab (and by lab, i mean our ONE tech room. which has 3 computers.) are... the tables are plywood sheets with 2x4's under them, and the optiplex computers dont have the processing power to open up CAD without overheating and crashing.
This year, as i said, gym was redone 6 times. We have 2 gyms. Yeah. Two. We also got a new weight room that was upwards of 150,000 USD, and well. you get the point
We just laid off 1/4 our teachers, including both teachers responsible for our FIRST robotics group. Chem teacher, and our one, and only, computer technologies teacher, who was a fucking boss
But yaknow, long as we got those 3 new PE teacher / coaches, a gym with a precious metal studded football trophy, and other useless items this year its all good
Oh, and our shcool lunch makes nutritionists beg for mcdonalds. When you look at the cup the put fries in, or the pizza, or anythnig else they make, they are quite literally, dropping oil. They have nothing for vegetarians, not even peanut butter jelly sammich or cheese pizza.
This place is a disgust the human race
But its the only place i can go to

Feels bad man when the most useful classes like Computer Science in the near future have their budget cut. Seriously, schools need to stop fucking spending 95% of their budget for the sports/athletic teams.
Even preforming arts such as band and guitar class are in major budget cuts. Expensive course-fee's are expensive. Even last year at the school I went to, they had to cut out CADD due to budget cuts.

I can now then guess that I'm lucky that I'm going to this BRAND NEW (still unfinished 5-6 days before school starts) Big-brother-like SS named after David Suzuki.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)I mean, don't get me wrong. Sure, Tech-oriented. But the school has funds to wipe their asses with, seriously.
They have 3 elevators. Three. GLASS FUCKING ELEVA
The school is BIG.
>Parking lot, I couldn't even complete walking around it once.
I mean Every Class has a Smartboard. EveryclasshasaLCDprojector. Fuckload of New Technology (12 Mac Computer Labs and 1 PC lab. Why?) the other HS I went to didn't have (I went to a HS my Brother went to, and he's 34 right now. Yeah). Big slideydoors that have sensors. Ar conditioning, EVERYWHERE. EVERYTHING IS SO SHINY.
But the mere fact that they have Security Cameras EVERYWHERE (Big Brother is Watching, even in the bathrooms) and that ANY staff member has access to your locker and can do virtually anything with it and that would mean that if anyone got a hold of that information they too could jack your shiet should you decide to leave a $600 shiny brick in there (Incompetentteachers) bothers me a bit :|
Plus, 14 out of the INITIAL 700 students are eligible for Busing wherein the distance and the means to walk to this school from my position are incredibly ridiculous.
Excuse me Sir and/or Madam, I was wondering just how I'm supposed to walk along a ramp sans sidewalks without being run over. I guess I just walk on the yellow line, right? I don't own, nor do I trust to bring a car to this school, most specifically because if it got stolen or worse it would suck and I don't have the means to cover that.
They want me to take a transit. Yet, I live a damn far ways away from the school, too. By car, it took a good 16 minutes to get there without traffic. Add "Regular School Dai :D" To that. Transit is fine, but that costs monies, rather than me having the benefit of taking a school bus that would be free/prepaid for for the whole school year. I mean, come on. Where is all this "Cash only" money collected from each and every student ($75x700+ Students) going? I freaking got a bus to a School that was CLOSER to me last year. And it was next to Downtown (CitywhereIlive). I'm on the "Just-Becoming Urban and has that 'New!' look" side of the city. Seriously, 10 years ago that Strip Mall used to be a Ravine, lol.
Watdis.
Gient Economical Mandate in newsletter (OR ELSE) and Agenda/Planner/Bigfuckingbookofinformation that surprisingly isn't very big (Nid Eco-friendly), along with another silly Rules guide and a note that EVEN STATES THAT "...You will not be able to tour during this registration today, because it is not completed..." on the beig blue sheet they first hand you.
Nice.
I mean sure, yeah, I guess the environment is cool and stuff and I'll do my part etc etc (I have never littered in my life... unless dead things count), but... Honestly, I get the message, stop shoveling this nonsense down my throat ._. I'm not too glad about going to this school because I feel like I'll be in one of those after-school cartoons about saving the Earth in one of the most blunt, in-digestible ways ever instead of being in school. May look good on my Diploma/Portfolio and shit but, what did I really learn? How to recycle? How to ride a bike down a highway? How to save the planet even though that's not how real life works? Honestly, they haven't thought about the (Large amount of people I talk to) people who are already like:
"Hey, I won't live to see that, I don't have children, I'm rich. What fucks do I give?"
Lol.
Though I guess it's for those people who have absolutely no voice in their head whatsoever, and to which I guess the productive outcome is that they hear all this Eco-friendly stuff, and blindly follow it.
Who knows.
All in all I must say that in spite of all this hassle, the ability to participaet in Tech-oriented studies and classes are pretty nice. I'm not tempted to say I'm privileged, because I have no idea what the classes will be like, and if I end up teaching the teacher instead of being taught.
Or I use RogueProcessremoverx86.exe and then proceed to play games during ComputerDesignClass (CDC) on their fancy new Macs/Draw shit using their Macs/Talk on Steam/Skype/MSN/Whateverthehell using their Macs/Bypass School Filters on their Macs.
Did I mention the Macs they endorse us with?
