About
With the growing financial crisis in California and the country, education is the first to be cut. The cutting of funds still does not solve the fundamental problem; how the money is actually distributed in the first place.
Very little of the money that taxpayers put into the educational system actually reaches the students. The money travels through such a convoluted bureaucracy that by the time it enters the classroom; it’s amount has been severely reduced and its intent completely disfigured.
What we, as taxpayers, thought the money was going to be used for, is no longer the case. In the majority of cases, it is the teachers that put in the money for the students, not the district or the state.
On already some of the most pathetic wages, teachers are having to supplement our children’s education. This is ridiculous. Teachers need to stop caving in to the guilt and societal pressure to be “nice” and not let “one red cent” of their own money go into their classrooms. Perhaps then, our country then can see how appalling our current education system is and make the necessary changes.
