Reply #3: You've been hanging out in the 'burbs too much

The vast majority of high schools, and middle, junior and elementary schools for that manner, are getting by on a shoe string budget, cutting programs, cutting teachers, trying to do more with less. Sure, there are those schools with the big athletic field, but you know how they get those big new athletic fields? The get parent and business donations earmarked specifically for athletics, while academics rot on the vine.

But hey, thanks for writing off an entire generation of students with your attitude. You assume much, and in your anger deny students that which you hold dear. Congratulations, you're part of the problem.
