Rural school population

The government is talking about people moving from Rural villages to the Urban area's.
They are talking about how there gas prices and how everything in the Urban area's are raising the prices. I think that it is the truth, but if they understood how it is to live in the village it would be a lot harder. The only reason families are moving is because of our gas prices and everything is raising. Then they talk about the school funding,  and to me what they are getting is pretty good, compared to most schools here in Alaska. The school I am attending we have to watch our budget closely. On activities for an example we have to have Volleyball night, and Craft night which is a pain cause volleyball takes other people's interest and they leave craft night to play volleyball. I asked the instructor about changing craft night to a different night, and she said that they can't cause of the budget we have. I thought if people wouldn't  keep there eye's on the big places like Anchorage because they are not the only place that is having a hard time gaining, but the smaller villages losing the students for prices. Not just losing them but making the school less fortunate and able to do what they can do; and make ends meet.
