Budget Woes
We’re all facing budget woes as teachers. This financial crisis looms like the sword of Damocles. This is nothing new. Some schools face a budget crunch every year and have been for the past five years or more.
A retired teacher who loves talking about the old days (because I like hearing about them) told me once the school had no money to pay teachers. He wasn’t talking about lay offs. He said there was no money at all. It was time for a strike. If that wasn’t bad enough the strike happened during the 1973 oil crisis.
I haven’t heard anything as bad as that…yet. Many of us are in a pinch. We’re all wondering if our jobs are secure. I can’t imagine doing anything else besides teaching.
Maybe the politicians should get laid off. We gave them their jobs. We can take away their jobs.
This is an election year. I’ll be keeping tabs on who’s running for governor here.
You save our jobs you get our vote.

Another problem is that a lot of the teachers being fired are young and energetic. So now we lose some quality teachers and students are stuck with teachers that teach just like they did 30 years ago!
