'course, it  might help just a teesy weesy bit if people were willing to 
pay for good schools.  I can only speak for my area, but the people
here care for athletics over academics.  You can rip the guts out of the 
science department if you feel like it (or make us use old outdated 
equipment) but hell will freeze over before even one sport gets cut back.  
People around here complain about the academics of our system going down 
the toilet, but when a millage forthe schools comes up, those same people 
are the ones who rejecft it.  OF course, since proposal A passed, our 
sales tax went up, there's higher taxes on cigarretes, and most 
importantly, property taxes have been capped.  hERE'S HOPING OUR SCHOOL 
STAY AT THE same level they are now (damn caps lock).  *sigh*  Of course, 
I'm just a naive college student so I wouldn't know anything.  NEvermind 
that I had to suffer and am still suffering shitty michigan schools....
