A 50 inch flat screen school price is like 150$ one time deal. I'm only just saying...not saying I think teachers pay is fine because its not.
It's the same logic as "why do homeless people have phones?". it's a one time purchase. It's not going to cover ongoing rent.
But yeah, also a problem.
Not really a good comparison. In modern times, a smart phone is a basic necessity and can be that persons only connection to their friends, family and work opportunities. A digital sign in the lobby of a school doesn't hold nearly the same utility.
Then a necklace. Whatever.
Poor people are allowed to have nice things occasionally.
No one here said they weren't. You seemed to imply that a phone was a luxury and not a necessity and got corrected.
ITT: People not understanding staffing costs. $150 barely covers the cost of a substitute teacher for one day
(At least it used to, ten years ago my sister was a sub and she'd make a little over a hundred a day doing that, it may or may not still be enough)
If only teachers would accept flat screen TV's as payment.
"flat screen tv" how old is this meme, significantly cheaper than curved screens these days hah
Not in the 00's when I went to high school. It was for some alt education program that never happen, so who knows how much background cost there was that was wasted.
Also, to many poor schools always seem to fine the funds for their after school sports programs
I also think some of these purchases are done "because they need to spend money". You can't really spend a lot of money on food in one.
