I am a very optimistic person at times. I always try and look on the bright side of any situation. But I've got to admit that things really suck right now.
My school district is having big money issues. Really, really big money issues. And so that means so many positions must be cut at each school. My school got a new principle a week before the last semester ended (long story, don't ask) so the way teachers at my school are being laid off is based off seniority. Some of the best teachers at the school won't be coming back next year, and it's a bit of an understatement to say I'm pissed off about it.
All of the students agree that all the wrong people are being fired. The thing is, though, some people have to lose their jobs, that's the only way our district can handle its deficit. But all the wrong decisions are being made. Our school won't have a Latin program next year, which is making a lot of people angry, yet I haven't heard about any cuts being made to sports budgets. We're also adding a sculpting elective, which won't be cheap. Teachers that students like and do a great job are out of work. It's a really crappy situation.
Today's been long and stressful and I'm still really sleep deprived. Yeah, I need the weekend now.

*Edit: Kenz just reminded me they cut swimming. Not exactly what I meant, completely cutting a sport from the district just sucks.
**Edit again: They didn't cut swimming. They had talked about doing so at one time. This is why rumors are bad things.
