It reflects the frustration felt by most of us. But what kind of move has to happen if and when the other trustees who, so they say, reluctantly voted the budget in? What does it take to turn the tide? And if a majority of schools were to choose the option of not passing it, what do you think the government could or would do? I don't know much about the system and that is why I am asking. I would like to have some kind of vision to believe in other than this bloody bleak constipated state of affairs. Wouldn't it be great if we, the people, could take the government to court for endangering the well-being of our students? I hope you send it to the many at the top, Eden.

Even when you feel it is hopeless, someone will hear or read what you have to say and hopefully, with support, it will be taken seriously. An end to the monetary system will help. It's not if, it's when, if it's not too late. Cathy Eden, I am so proud to have you as a voice in public education.
