I don't know how it is where you are, but in Oregon, not only are such things not take for granted, but with budget cuts, the teachers have been buying classroom supplies out of their own pockets, parents raise money for playground and safety equipment, and class sizes keep going up and the school year keeps getting shorter. Most of the computers and software programs in public schools are donated or come through grants, at least as far as I know. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvan Rainwater . sylvan@cccchs.org Clackamas County Children's Commission Oregon City, OR USA
