So...as a second year teacher and recent recipient of my RIF (reduction in force) papers, being laid off, I have been trying to keep up with recent educational updates and news. BUT-it has been like a broken record.
Every article reports on what we SHOULD be doing...no mention of doing, implementing, or VOTING for goodness sakes!!! I read articles on how we should replace our board members and even the super but no one thinks of how to do it or why or anything like that. Personally, I do think this budget crisis lies on the board's shoulders alone. We have, for quite some time, spent money freely in education while watching houses foreclose. With no property tax, no school funds.
Education needs a revolution and fast. I LOVE teaching, it is a passion and an art as well as a calling and every teacher would agree but it is so hard to keep being abused and beaten by the profession you love. I sit here today on this first day of June not knowing if I have a job in the Fall...and this is no ONE persons fault, this county, and country needs a solution not involving loans and government bail outs.
