Not true. School budgets go for better sports stadiums (don’t even call them playing fields anymore), sports fees so that no one is left out because they can’t afford the fees, other extracurricular fees, etc. On the other side, pregnant mothers meet with teachers in jr. high and tell them they can’t afford notebooks for each of their seven kids. (This actually happened in my teaching experience.)
Would you like some soup recipes? Or a can opener?
