This is great but also sad.

Great that people are donating to the schools and helping out with educating our youth.

Sad that our own legislature can't see the value of this.

Go on line and beg. A good statement on the support education gets in Utah.

Teachers have been conditioned to beg! They work for nothing are bullied and intimated by their administrators/legislators and have to cough up their own "pennies" in order to make their classroom function. There is no support for teachers finacially and morale is at an all time low. This is the worst time in the history of America to be a teacher for to many reasons to list. Thinking about teaching? B-LINE it for the door ladies and gentlemen; it's a nightmare!!
