Georgia schools don't have money like they used to
either. I don't even do that many public school shows,
and most of them are paid for by the PTO. And don't
even get me (and half the people on the list) started
on No Child Left Behind and all the testing and test
prepping. I was at a school and a couple of the
classes didn't come to the show because the teachers
felt they needed the time for test prep. It was so
sad.
