According to commercials that advocate you participate in the upcoming census, if we don't accurately count how many people live where then we can't adequately request funds to pay for our teachers. Apparently all we need to do to allocate teacher and school resources is to count everyone! I wonder how any other (private) business manages to allocate resources? Perhaps all IBM does is count its number of employees and then send a transcript to someone with a lot of money requesting funds to develop a "smarter planet."
