    In order to 'up' my budget one year, I took the amount of students I was
    teaching and divided it into the amount of money I was getting. For
    example 200 students with $800 dollars which would break down to $4 a kid
    for the YEAR!!!!!! Then I asked, in writing, what kind of program did
    administration think we could have at that price? I included the costs of
    clay, acrylics, pencils, erasers, paper, glue, tape--all EXPENDABLES--in the
    conversation (assuming you keep rulers, scissors, pottery tools, brushes,
    etc from year to year). Most administrations HAVE NO CLUE how much supplies
    cost or WHAT or HOW YOU TEACH. To tell you the truth, they want us to shut
    up and produce fabulous art for nothing. Give your administration a lesson
    in economics.

    It's time to take a summer break....
