Its fairly obvious to everyone that education budgets in BC keep getting slashed. The Vancouver school board is considering closing schools and I know from talking to various teachers that schools are strapped for cash all over our province.

So the question I want to pose is what can we do to continue to offer a high standard of education at a fraction of the cost? For physical education, I think we may have to begin to offer alternatives to our usual major sports. Activities like Yoga are cheap to run and provide an alternative experience that may attract students not usually interested in sports. I think outdoor ed and orienteering are other good units that can be run with a low cost.
Does anyone have good ideas for ways to cut costs in class room subjects like Socials, Science or Art?
