Y'know, it's easy to yell at the school officials.

But that "measly $5000 a year" is a lot when they are chronicly underfunded. Teachers shouldn't have to buy basic school supplies out of their truly meager pay, nor teach large classes. Instead of yelling at how horrible it is that the schools are doing this, why not ask why they feel they have to do this?

That is indeed a pity.. I'm lucky to be working for a fairly well-funded university. (Of course, with the first budget crunch, they tried to get rid of my department, but.. minor details.)

However, I'm mostly surprised that you misspelled "chronically." ^_~
