When it comes to making the decision between repairing the old roof or hiring new teachers for students in the school, the answer is no doubt the latter. Given that teachers are the core of a school, their contribution to students continuously elevates students' academic performances. With the hiring of new teachers, new knowledge and skills are brought to the campus environment. Both students and teachers are mentally motivated to progress. This can encourage the overall performance of a school, leading to good reputation and the accumulation of resources from the government and society.

For instance, a school in a poor mountain area is more likely to gain attention when students achieve high scores in national exams. This is because people assume that students from poor areas are more likely to get lower scores. Outstanding performances explain the potential, and further illustrate a prosperous development in the future. As a result, people tend to donate to such schools. The overall sources of fund are accessible, creating a more sustainable situation.

Although I partially agree with Andrew's assertion that roof repair should be the priority, he overlooks the fact that leaders should not only consider immediate needs, but also long-term views. Expanding funding sources pave the way for solving problems in a bigger scale, opening up other possibilities to address predicaments with diverse approaches.
