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.
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)
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.
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.
