So Republicans want larger classes and to cut back teachers?

Money should always be an object. People should object when it is squandered, even though they don’t. Money left in the pockets of the people allows them to better their lives. Any money taken from them for public purposes should be taken only as needed and used to best benefit. Instead people saddle the future with their burdens by borrowing and hoping to be dead by the time the bills come due.

A union is just an organization of workers speaking with a common voice and looking after their own interests. They tend to form where there is the perception of unfair treatment and they tend to shrink where the workers have the perception of fair treatment. They may be reasonable or unreasonable depending on the individuals and the particular situation. They have the same danger of corruption as any organization. They may be weak or strong. The First Amendment guarantees their right to exist in this country under freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. In many cases they have made it simpler for employers to move to other countries where they have more reasonable situations. It all depends.

If you are having a budget problem I have an idea. Why not change the summer holiday to the end of June through September. That way the schools will save a huge amount on power bills trying to keep these hundreds of schools cool during the hottest month of the year (August), Plus, there is no break in between August and December (2 days for Thanksgiving is not a break) which is a huge amount of time especially for Kindegarten and lower grades,who have short attention spans.

Schools have a skeleton crew during the summer so you can set the temperatures a little higher then usual, which will all know how a few degrees can save a bundle on our own power bills. Just imagine how many thousands if not Millions of $ it would save this county a year!

Why are they always trying find way to get more instead of trying to save? Oh , that’s right, tax payers our know for their deep pockets of free money they have to waste!

Class size is not going to save money, giving teachers more pay is not going to make our kids smarter. But a smaller class size always shows kids benefit better in the long run. Lower your power bill, more money to hire all these qualified teachers who can’t find work. Problem solved.
