problems o_o?
So yeah I'm apparently having problems with tutorial depot now 7_7' It's not letting the newer pages of mine show completely up. in fact, I can go back to edit it, and everything's there for the post, but when you go to the direct link OF the post, nothing shows up?

Anyways I'm really tired, and I have no idea why. Haven't been sleeping well (and by that I mean I get to bed late xpx) and I really don't want to do that.
So the school that me, my mom, and even my grandmother attended and graduated from is in some MASSIVE trouble. Seems like due to some problems and ignorance, there's only two or three teachers that may still be there come time for school later this fall. Everyone else has already left including the councilor, the tech guy that works there, and nearly ALL of the high school teachers. As far as we know, the elementary side is fine. Now to point out, this school I'm referring to is VERY small, holding about 300 students. So small it has basically one large campus. (ie high school is one side of the building, elementary is on the other side, and then the middle school side is in a building across the playground)

Due to state laws however, because of this size, it's forced to merge with other schools in other towns, thereby setting off a chain reaction of events I like to call "screw overs". This "merge" was supposed to somehow give kids more teachers to work with by using the same teachers from the merged schools to teach the same number of kids from those same schools. In actuality, it just ment that those schools would have to divide a set amount of money between each other.(basically? saves money. figures) Since then, the school here has no band, no music, no home ec. barely an art class, or well... any other extra activities. (to be fair-- my senior year had only one person in it's band class-- me --and there hasn't been a home ec teacher in years)
I think though the last straw came when the councilor here (former math teacher) was called in to "fill in temporarily" for math class when the math teacher all of the sudden quit and she didn't even get paid for her forced second job.

The school council isn't helping at all, and the fact that the state has been breathing down the backs of the school due to past histories of Math and English grades from various exams isn't helping the situation improve. In fact, from my understanding, it's the very reason why everything is falling apart. what's worse is that so far, there's not even any plans in trying to hire any new teachers, and the current plan is that the school will only have "half a day" teachers come in, while the other half of the day gets taught online.

woo-- well needless to say, cloud's upset.
New One of Those Days It's setting up to the dramatic conclusion!
