[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no issue with spending this kind of money on a better schooling experience for Ballou's kids. I do question spending that kind of money on fancy things such as a pool. Most private schools don't even feel the need to spend money on such extravagances initial cost, maintenance, insurance -- hello! Until a reasonable percentage of Ballou's kids are at least on grade level, throw the money into personnel and work with those kids in extremely small groups. Hire outside tutors, whatever it takes. Save the money aside for the pool, renovate the building and use money to bring kids up to grade level. THEN, by all means, build them the pool they deserve. [/quote] Yeah, but this argument is a little like saying "the renovations to the White House could be used to feed the homeless on Pennsylvania Ave". That's not how budget allotments work. [/quote]
