[quote=Anonymous]Local level is not nearly as wasteful. I have worked in both places. The problem with the feds is that there is so much paperwork and reporting needed to get the money that it adds layers of workers just to deal with that. There are also so many parameters on how to get the money that the grants are often written to the parameters and not with the actual needs of the local students/schools in mind. The locals might need more teachers, but the fed says the money has to be spent on "technology". So computers that sit around or SmartBoards that aren't used or presentation stations that sit in closets are bought. This is just the beginning. Some of the grants say that "staff development" must be implemented. This leads to presentations that are totally unnecessary and total wastes of time. It does, however, employ people.[/quote]
