Your tax dollars at work

Here we have Cooper Elementary in Detroit, MI. Wasteful public spending to say the least! The school was abandoned after new schools were funded by gambling programs.

However, instead of taking what taxpayers had already spent and being wise stewards of our resources, they just abandoned the school with many a room left like this. Those rooms were full of books, furniture and media. Now, it's all trashed.

Here's a thought. Home based learners don't face this problem. The books and media get used, and then used again for younger children. At home, you don't buy a book just to throw it out.

Stay classy Detroit!
