Marsha Walker: On subject of physical books being furnished Believes State Legislature stopped funding books several years ago, and notes, ' . . . they are unbelievably expensive. E-readers are much more economical. About: Comments re article 77811 Gerald Doss Bought own books in the 1950s Marsha Walker Personal commentary I believe the KY Legislature stopped funding school books several years ago. I, too, bought my own books in high school. Back then, we took care of our books and resold them. Lots of books are lost or damaged each year, and they are unbelievably expensive. E-readers are much more economical. Today, school districts are expected to provide so many things that were once provided by families (books, clothing, shoes, school supplies, meals, food for the weekends, meals during the summer, medical personnel, maintaining of medical records, transportation, counseling, summer and after school education and the list goes on. Teachers spend their own money for classroom supplies and snacks for children who have none. I am going to research "What percentage of the KY state budget did public schools receive from 1990 through the present." I think I will be shocked. - Marsha Walker This story was posted on 2015-09-21 03:09:18
