I look around and find it hard to believe that schools across the country are closing its doors due to financial hardships. It's a crime to know that all of these kids will lose education close to their homes due to financial problems. With all the high paid salaries in the world you would think that we should be able to keep school doors open. As we speak there is a lockout in the NFL because two sides cannot decide how to split 9 Billion dollars a year, but schools can't keep their doors open due to lack of funds. This shows how much our society values education. When are we going to realize that the education that we are taking from these kids are the same generation that is supposed to make our world a better place. If we cannot educate them now that sounds like doom for our future. It's sad to know that we spend almost a Trillion dollars on a war that almost everybody believes was unnecessary. After Trillions of dollars lost all we have left to say is "We do not have enough money to keep schools open"? We spend a lot of time raising money for other countries problems, but not our own kids education? Teachers are losing their jobs left and right just to keep a budget in the state. It's well known that these major organizations have executives making entirely too much money for us to justify why schools are closing. We as people need to make changes to insure that our future generations are educated enough to be able to take on the struggles that may occur in time. With Teachers being cut and schools being closed it makes it harder for children to get the proper education they deserve. Now with the cuts you will have larger classrooms in schools making it harder for children to get the proper attention from a teacher. I'm not one to tell people what to do with their money but if every Athlete, Musician, Actor, Corporate Executive, and etc. contributed over $5,000 things would have to change right? This is something that has got to change in order for our youth to have a chance because at this rate there will be only home schooling in the next 10 years. So more than ever these days it is important that we try to continue to teach our children when they are not in school just in case it happens to them.
Let us know how you feel about schools closing down due to financial hardship and if it has affected you in any way.
like in Detroit they closed half the schools and the other half are going to absorb 60 kids to a class. The problem is even local to me, the Elementary here in concord closed to help the city save 1 million a year, which is like saving the lint from your pocket. I read the cost of mobilizing for Libya has already cost 100 Million dollars! it's only been like a week!
ReplyDeleteHey nice blog, I was still getting warmed up on the blacks in the media blog.........LOL
In Richmond, they are trying to close Kennedy High school. In Oakland they are laying off teachers daily to meet some quota. Its sad that we can spend money on war with an unlimited budget but we cant educate the future leaders of this country.
