6:34 am
to pay $100 per student per sport. some school board members tried unsuccessfully to eliminate the fees. parents argued that it is a hardship they can't afford. >> somewhere along the line, you would have parents that would be more selective on what sports the children would go out for and i think parents would have to make a decision on whether they would want their child to participate in every sport. >> i think it is horrible. i mean there are so many kids that it will take everything out, that they won't be able to play. >> reporter: the school system is waiving the fees for the students who can least afford it. according to the post, students who are eligible for free or reduced price meals will not have to pay. now, there is a silver lining in all of this. the budget situation was much more dire earlier in the year but there was a boost in state aid that allowed them to save some of the programs that had

6:42 am
so basically remeeting donkey and puss in boots and repeating the caches. it seems tired. effect also little bit old. i do want to say this though. donkey played by eddy murphy is easily one of the best voice casting of all time. that is great the have i a problem sometimes with big name stars playing animated characters because i can't separate myself from the animated character and actor playing them. but mike myers does a great job, eddy murphy. i felt like the movie was a little bit tired. i'm kind like between a two and a half and a three. i think it is a very average film. but they are releasing this in shrek 3-d imax. >> i was going to ask this. we talked before about is this flooding of market with 3-d? >> i'm in the a huge fan of need. i think it is taking away from
