You know that a country’s education budget is ridiculously low when teachers have to start selling advertising space on their quizzes and tests to help pay for the cost of printing them. I’m sure that some of you have seen the old bumpersticker phrase “I look forward to the day when our schools get all the money they need and the army has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.”, and, well, while it was meant as a joke and an exaggerated circumstance…it seems to me that we’re getting to the point where the reverse is true: our military has seeming carte blanche with out budget, and now schools are starting to have to sell advertisements to be able to afford to print out their curriculum.
