Yeh, wut da hell was that? i didn't like selling chocolate, but at least the cost was lowered. Geez Prato, money doesn't just grow on trees.

OMG I know. And over half the school is on financial aid! OMG! amen i say to you amen!

I don't know how that was decided, but that's insane. He can't have lost patience after ONE sale. However, we were tens of thousands in the red last year, and probably will be this year, so it's not TOTAL bullshit. It might go back down, who knows? And what's it to do with the football team? All the same, there ought to have been a vote.

PS: Brutal as it sounds, it might also be their attempt to make the student body smaller, using obvious tactics...which is completely vicious and snobbish, but not unheard-of.

ithas to do with football because all the money, well 98% of it went to football. and the student body thing, thats just stupid. but what do you mean we were in the red? *confused*

To be in the red=to be in debt. Kennedy went waaaaayyy into debt last year (I think we helped Mr. Strauss out with Gloria [though God knows no one should begrudge them that], and there were just a lot of unforseen costs). At any rate, we're in debt and the Archdiocese isn't pleased.

Common Sense

[anonymous]

Time for my two cents: and today they'll involve some common sense. First, math: every student was required to sell $180 worth of chocolate. Adding in extra boxes sold, the average for every student was less than $200 dollars (this number did not come out of thin air.). Of that, Kennedy makes $0.50 on the dollar, meaning that the chocolate sale brought in $100 per student. Kennedy tuition goes up by more than $100 per student per year due to inflation anyway. Therefore, removing the chocolate sale does not make our tuition $7,500 but rather $6,580 ($6,380 [this year's tuition] + $100 [inflation]+ $100 [chocolate money]). How I do love math. And then let's remove some hyperbole. THe football team won't fail. The band has to provide its own funding and look how we do. What of gymnastics, also lacking funding? It'll be healthy for the football team to not receive its every request. Not to mention the fact that the chocolate sale was offered to the Bossters club (the real place from which all football funding comes) and they turned it

But it was stated that tuition went up 1000 dollars not 100 :) and sure not all the money goes to foot ball but a large lump sum does. and what about gymnastics and band? *is confused* um yea... the rest of that didnt make sense so yea.....
