  • North Webster takes a step toward creating a trail

    From Joy Beeson@jbeeson@invalid.net.invalid to rec.bicycles.misc on Wed Aug 19 22:40:10 2020
    From Newsgroup: rec.bicycles.misc

    From the Ink-Free News:

    The study is expected to cost $30,000,

    That's thirty thousand dollars just to find out whether it's feasible
    to build a trail from North Webster to Wawasee Middle School.
    According to Google Maps, that's 3.7 miles.

    How many middle-school students could you teach the rules of the road
    to for thirty grand?

    How many middle-school phys ed instructors and health-class teachers
    could you teach how to ride safely?

    I'm reading that for U.S. teachers that:
    As of May of 2018 elementary school teachers, a wide umbrella for
    those who teach elementary level education to kids (excluding special education, a separate occupation with its own set of skills), had a
    median annual income of $58,230.

    So $30,000 is sort of chicken feed in the education field.
