<My daughter's education is the most priceless thing in my life -- and I am so blessed to have a well educated, loving, dedicated government employee to help give here the best possible start in life.> Hope you are not in NC then. School systems here are laying off about 10% of the teachers and increasing class sizes. You would be seeing a 1st grade class go from 20 kids to 25 kids. Oh and take away the full time teacher assistant in lower grades K-2. Making them split the assistant time between two rooms. Not hiring new teachers, replacing them with unskilled (no teacher background) Teach for America plants with privately paid sponsors. All in an effort to cut costs. Probably about to renege on National Board Certification pay increases. Cutting out middle school sports. Cutting out library budgets. Eliminating Advanced learner classes and program. Cut those costs! No child left educated. Throw in no years of experience based salary increase for the second year in a row. Throw in about 4 days of mandatory unpaid furlough. Throw in the elimination of local supplement pay. Throw in empty supply closets and supplies being paid for by the teacher. State budgets are in shambles. And education is going to suffer badly. Even closing down, eliminating hours at public libraries here in NC. Crazy stuff. Oh and for anyone who says Teachers only work a soft schedule? Saw 4 of them last night at their kids little league game. Grading papers. 8pm at night. Sitting on the bleachers grading papers, and trying to spend time watching their own kid. Why were they working at 8pm? Cause all of the planning days and time during hours has been eliminated along with the assistants. Teachers can't stay in the classroom because they have bus duty an hour or more before school starts, cause they have bus duty and hour or so after school ends, countless administrative meetings after and before the bus duty, and lunch 30 minutes consists of looking after somebodies whiny sick kid in the lunchroom most everyday. Add in some parent/teacher conferences and some late evening school activities designed to help parents help thier kids learn. Of course about 2/10 parents attend and both of them fiddle crap around with their cellphone texting nonsense the whole time.
