What's So Bad About the Fairfax Schools Budget? Teacher Slam/That's What.

"Teachers would have larger classes, go without raises for the second year in a row, and have fewer opportunities for professional development. Dale also plans to cut a program that provides extended annual contracts so teachers have more time to develop leadership skills." The Washington Post, January 8, 2010, "Fairfax schools chief proposes spending cuts, bigger classes."


Pay the teachers well and provide a living wage. Ensure access to professional development.


As a parent, I can live without extra special programs but my child cannot live without extra special teachers.

Randumm Thoughts II

...Michele Obama likes public education for you.

...Dear Giant, Free antibiotics is not a "real deal".

...Bi-partisanship is not a goal: it's a means to thoughtful dialog and compromise. The goal is UNhappiness.

...Dont' drink and write.

...If you're weird and you know it, you're not weird. If you're weird and you DON'T know it, you ARE WEIRD.
