You know things are bad when

Banks and car manufacturers are getting bail outs but teachers now have to worry about job cuts especially in a state that is in desperate need of more. Seriously, the education of the future of America is in jeopardy because of budget cuts while banks and car manufacturers get handouts. Pretty sad state of events in this country and our priorities are definitely a little screwed up IMHO. Sorry just had to vent. When my wife came home and told me that this was the topic of discussion during a meeting today as the principle was required to give them a warning of things to possibly come I just could not help to think how this is wrong in so many ways. There solution is to cut jobs and stuff more kids into classrooms. Sadly it is the same story pretty much through the US as friends of ours from back in NY were telling us the same thing is happening there next year too. Even if my wife were not a teacher I would still feel the same way. Mods feel free to delete if this is too political. Just needed a place to vent really.
