I just spit up a mouthful of icy-cold natural spring water (it’s Earth Day!) when I read this line in the New York Times story on school budgets this year. Can someone please tell me why this was so funny, because I’m not entirely certain:
“This is not one of those years when you’re going to hear people complaining that they didn’t get enough state aid,” said David Albert, a spokesman for the New York State School Boards Association.
But what about all the people whose job descriptions require them to repeatedly complain that their schools didn’t get enough state aid? It’s an entire subset of the education industry, no? Forced sabbatical til next year?
