Teaching Tuesday- Ouch!

I was watching the Today Show earlier this morning and they did a feature on a school in L.A. that cost $587 million dollars to build! Being a teacher at an old, falling apart school that doesn't even have air conditioning this news really feels like a slap in the face. I am happy for the population of students who will benefit from such an amazing facility (and jealous of the teachers); however, as a state we are being hit with so many cut backs and teacher layoffs that this really does hurt. What are your thoughts?
