School house...NOT!

To give you a little taste of how numbers,countless scandals,statistics,dollar bills, and all around "sketchiness" of educational budget cuts are affecting, here are some words straight from the most affected and most important person of all: the student.

Keep in mind that I asked him how school was doing, and instead of the traditional "good" answer, 15 year old Michael Zepeda, in an almost discouraged tone, said:

"I'm learning nothing. My teacher isn't there anymore. They send in people from the office to sit there and watch us as substitutes. We go on the computer for eight hours a day...and do nothing."
