As a public school teacher, don't think I'm not painfully unaware of what conditions I have to work in. But I have delusions to think that the provincial government would have spent any of the money going to the Olympics to the education system.

And not the rich - I'm a public school teacher and I plan on attending some events. Albeit, I don't have dependents but hey, people choose what they spend on.

Some of us would rather just celebrate it than constantly bash something that is inevitable.
