Virginia has 7 of the top 25 richest counties in America, yet we can't even fund/create a decent National-Level sports team....where does all the money go, amirite?

TO THE SCHOOLS D: It's horrible how they spend so much money on the schools, yet they're STILL so ghetto.

Who cares about sports?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

@923467 (Anonymous): sports are actually very important. if we had a good sports team it could potentially be a huge source of money for virginia.it could create jobs. watching sports inspires children to play sports which makes them not be fat.there are plenty of reasons why sports are important.

Hopefully to the schools and teachers (who by the way, are completely broke here in CA) who completely deserve it for teaching our future doctors, and lawyers, etc. Trust me, you're lucky.

I live in Cali right now and I wish we got as much money as Virginia does for schools. I used to live in VA and they had such nice schools compared to here. :/

I know what you mean. My school is so ghetto. We have to have cop cars on campus most of the time. And my mom who is a teacher works her ass off and we barely make ends meet.

dont all schools have police on campus?

Actually, a lot of money goes to the schools, but there are A LOT of schools in each individual county, so the teachers end up not getting the money they deserve. One of my teachers said that she only got 20,000 per year when she first started teaching.

My math teacher from last year brought this up, telling us about all the rich counties that surround our poor county and was like, "You guys better get the hell out of Prince George's if you're looking for something serious. Just move to Fairfax, it isn't far."
