Our Taxpayer Dollars at Work...

I think something is a little bit wrong with the way the public schools spend their money. Case in point: a conversation I just had with an upcoming visitor to the Planetarium:

Teacher: It's just $2.50 per person, right?

Me: I'll have to have Kathy talk to you about that. Your show is at 5:00, and we usually charge more for night-time shows. She'll know if a different price was quoted to you.

Teacher: Oh, it's okay. We have a ton of money we have to spend. In fact, if you could charge us $10 a person, that would be great!
