Chopping Block
Our nation is going through an economic crises. It seems that those who are the most needy tend to receive the most direct hit from the budget cuts.
Education is marched straight up to the chopping block and encouraged to lay its weary head down as the axe comes down hard and sure and the severing will be as painless as possible!
"Releasing" new teachers who just began their careers, rolling back much needed courses in the fine arts, cutting extracurricular and after school programs, and increasing class sizes are all examples of the harsh outcomes of cutting a school's budget.
Our youth are our future!
Their future does not deserve to be laid prostrate on a chopping block!
Stay encouraged! Educators are resilient!
Continue to stay positive and share with your students all that you have to give them.
The students' hopes, dreams and aspirations should not be on the chopping block too!
