| I don't know if this is the case but schools are operating on a shoestring budget these days, in my opinion it's because the school districts have to many administrators. You talked about all of the trips your band went on and believe me it is not cheap to take a band on a trip. He probably has no choice on handing out written assignments and he really does not have the time to read and grade them so this is a rather sore spot for him also. Times are changing and I guess every one has to be flexible. For what is worth they are talking about consolidating the sports programs in some of our local schools so that two or three schools will join together to field one team, the fine arts programs can't be far behind.
