“I want Virginia to have the most innovative incentives to create the best school system in America.”
- Former Attorney General Bob McDonnellPlease tell me why Mr. Governor Bob McDonnell is going back on his word (see above, he said that). Oh yeah, he is a politician. If you click on the link above, it will take you to Gov. McDonnell's website. On this website there is a section about education in which he goes on and on about how important education is for our young people. However, he is now proposing approximately $731 million dollars in cuts for our public school system. Seriously, I think he has lost his mind~
It is bad enough that my particular school system had already decided to cut approximately 150 TEACHING positions for next year, but now with these new cuts I am not sure what will happen. I know that the system really needs to start looking at the administration level. I am not sure why we need so many people sitting pretty at the admin building. People that don't help students on a daily basis. I know they will say that what they do effects children in a "trickle down" way. Whatever! I cannot think of a ton of examples of people from the admin building doing much that has ever helped out the kids in my classroom. So we shall see if this budget passes at the state level. If it does, the youth of the state of Virginia is in serious jeopardy.
