The public school system in San Antonio is quite appaulting. If anyone lives around this region, you might have heard of the recent ’make-over’ given to the Alamodome.
The price? Around a couple million dollars.
The make-over itself? Just a paint job.

But what makes this so frustrating is that this money could have been used for improving the schools, such as issuing new textbooks, creating new elective courses, and extracurricular activities, which are drastically decreasing due to budget problems. But no, the brains that manage our fair city thought it best to pour that money into a paint job for a sports complex.

Go figure. It’s where the money is. Who cares about public school? No one needs an education to like watching basketball games.

Well, it just boggles me that things of this nature go on here. It’s very angering and embarrasing to be a part of a city that values a piece of leather and a game more than the people in it. Nevermind that we could raise the unemployment rate by increasing educational services. Nevermind that we could keep kids off the streets by helpin’ em out with some of the extra money that the city blows on “Big Signs and Big Paint jobs for Big Businesses”.

We could get out of the hole we are in, but the city doesn’t want that. Because as long as you can drive to the Alamodome, you are an important citizen. Let’s just hope you can figure out how to get there with your 4th grade education.
