Schools spent $67K on cappuccino machines

[Will E Worm]

An inspector's report shows Chicago Public Schools employees bent rules to spend $67,000 for espresso machines that largely haven't been used. The report shows the nation's third-largest district bought 30 cappuccino machines for a culinary arts program.

So, you're still voting yes for school tax increases? :dunno:

Schools don't need any more money. The school boards just need to learn how to properly spend the money they have, which is too much.

wow, just wow

It sounds like a reasonable expenditure to me. The average American can't cook worth shit. Doesn't a culinary arts program help solve this?

NATIONALIZE THOSE CAPPUCCINO MACHINES BABY

WillE--if you knew had to cook maybe you'd have something other than a crappy burger for an avatar?:dunno:

Hey now, the burger was made from grade A beef, without preservatives and from cows that were not given growth hormones.

I can cook, thank you very much. :hatsoff:

Maybe its just me but how can an cappuccino machine increase the quality of cooking. Only thing i can imagine using this for is for latte art even then you don't need a whole machine for it. Are people really losing their minds lately.

A school official says one employee was fired and disciplinary action is pending against three others.

The whole management/board or w/e you call it should get fired. Don't come up with shit like we didn't know until it was to late its your job to know whats going.

Maybe they should force one student to have one mandatory cup each day :dunno: then they'll pay for themselves and all the students will be alert, the test scores might even rise.

No child left behind

I am shocked and amazed, I tell you. I mean, it happened in Chicago of all places! The same place that gave us our most wise newly elected Dear Leader, the Lord Messiah, Barack Obama, the most merciful, peace be unto him and hallowed be His name, how can that be?? :dunno:
