Why should a school cost 90million dollars to build, isn't that a lot of money for a school?

Question

I am told a public building only laststs 20 or so years and 90million sounds outrageous. I went to school in a one room school of wood seven grades and one teacher, I was not deprived!
We read out loud in front of all seven grades it was fun. Some of us sneeked out the bathroom window and went home or into the woods for wild flowers. One time in the winter we walked cross lots home in the sleet, our clothes were froze and we had ice on our eye lashes, I still remember now I am old and I do not understand
The expence of todays foolishness. We had a crank teliphone we burned wood in the funace to keep warm. We had a pot bellied stove in school to keep us all warm the boys stoked it. We dried mittens on it. Toasted sandwiches on it
burned home work in it. We prayed in school we said the Our Father, the 23rd Psalm and the pledge to the flag after one of the apointed boys put it up the pole. the flag was put up and taken down every day. People were kind and good we lived a simple life.

Answer 1

I miss those days too, life was more simple, meaningful and fulfilling. To answer your original question, no amount of money is too much for a school. These days a slice of pizza is about $4-$, and back then, about 28 cents.

I like the prayer idea too, I'm not religious, but hearing those words but the "Our Father, Pledge of Allegiance- (I don't know the 23rd Psalm)- I will look it up now. Hearing such comforting and sensible words makes for better living and thought.
