I have a quibble with News of the Weird, but maybe it's just me. They sneered at this –
* What Budget Crunch? The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported in January that despite an array of pressing problems, the Broward County public school system has paid about $100,000 per year since 2004 to build and maintain special gardens at selected schools in order to lure butterflies for pupils to study. [South Florida Sun- Sentinel, 1-1-2011]
To me the butterflies sound like a great idea, both for study material and esthetics. That hundred grand is part of a landscaping budget that's probably not breaking the bank, anyhow.
God help us that some school officials should think outside of the budget box.
