For those of you who don't know, I work for an education association. I just finished working on a story about a school where the parents gave blood and used the money from the blood plasma donations to pay for the salary of a teacher who would be cut.

While I hope none of you are in the situation I described, are any of you parents out there having to pay for more school things because of tight government budgets?
