Today's TANTRUM THURSDAY is very
related to yesterday's!! I really didn't mean to RANT so much
yesterday, but sometimes when I get up on that SOAP BOX I just can't
seems to find my way down!?!
One of the things that I did find
out in all of AYE's classes is that there is not enough books for each
kid in the class. In Aye's school we are very lucky that they are able
to get a 'digital' copy of the books, however, most school aren't that
lucky. We are also lucky enough to be able to let Aye use a computer in
her room. The fact is that with all the budget cuts we have lost the
buses to our school, lost more and more students (because of the buses
being gone), more teachers and also our books for the class. HOW in the
world do they expect out teachers to be able to teach.
Did I also tell you that they
have lost the funding for ALL the after school clubs and groups? That
teachers are only allowed X about of copies per month and they have to
provide their own paper? I just don't understand. I can't seem to
figure out how they expect our kids to make a difference in this world
if we can't even provide them the supplies to do it with.
I now that this is a common problem in MANY school districts.
I know that this is something that is faced every day by teachers and school staff.
I also know that this is WRONG!
What do we NEED to do to fix this?
What CAN we do??
I just don't understand, my father was a teacher and even back then it WAS getting bad, but now???
