My Post in Revision (The last one sucked.)

So, as the title of the post would suggest, I have completely rewritten my post. The original was poorly written; and as I have been profoundly bored as of late, I have pondered the question some and come up with a more personally engineered response. So voila, ici: my new post.

While it is aggravating to note how much the British Colombian government has cut back on our school's budgets as of late, one has to wonder whether it may be deserved. The government provides our schools with funding for a reason: that they may provide all students in the province with an appropriate education. If we are to define an "appropriate education" as an education which stimulates every child in a class at least 80% of the time, as well as preparing each child for their future (providing them with the knowledge they will need to keep themselves healthy in mind, body and spirit), we can safely conclude that our schools are not making appropriate use of government funding. If this is the case, should the government really be providing the schools with large amounts of money? Many of the programs our schools run are redundant. Our PE classes (sorry Ms Barley), could use an updated curriculum. Cooking and art classes have relatively little value, and many of the language courses are biased towards people who already have a background in the language. Add to the outdated curriculum the lack of interesting course material and we have a slight problem on our hands. In the end, the question comes to: Are schools making appropriate use of government funding? Clearly the government concluded that our schools weren't being practical. It isn't schadenfreude if there's a method to the madness, and we have no right to complain about fair decisions.
