$$$

Educational funds and school budgets keep getting cut or are threatened to be cut.
Some sports teams like the Phillies and the Yankees - the organization and players - make a lot money. 
Should they have to put some of that profit toward the public schools in the city where their stadium is?  The Phillies just spent $10 million on a new HD scoreboard.  
Plus, the main people who spend money on team merchandise are those who live in that city.
What do you think?

Skip school, go to jail...

Sometimes kids will be kids, but many times parents need to start paying attention and be more involved.   Who is responsible for truancy?  The parents or the kids?  Or both?  Should parents be charged with a crime, pay fines, and/or go to jail when their children are truant?  Maybe kids should be sent to jail to teach them a lesson...?
