penny wise and pound foolish

they cut 12.5 teaching positions, plus secretary and custodial positions and this is supposed to be the easier year between this year and next. Class sizes will near 40. My department has suffered a 50% loss over the past 3 years. And the instrumental program has been obliterated. Sad time to be in education

I think people are idiots when it comes to education. How our world works is through education and the more people take from it the harder and more long term it will be felt.

Very sad, but this sort of thing is happening everywhere. You are not alone :(

Very sorry to see this happening.
I would have never achieved what I have in my life if not for all the many wonderful teachers that influenced me.

this is supposed to be easier then the upcoming years? from what i saw at a recent district meeting, the deficit keeps increasing with each passing year. there's no telling if things are going to get any better either.
