'TIS THE SEASON
Lean left, lean right, or hide; the two candidates running for governor have some very opposing views on how education should be delivered in the state of California. These differences will affect you directly; you pension, your salary and perhaps where you will teach. Please follow the link and study these differences. The job you save, may be your own.
HOUSE APPROVES $26 BILLION FOR SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC EMPLOYEES
On August 10th the US House yesterday approved "$26 billion in aid to school districts and states to prevent large-scale layoffs of teachers and public employees." "We can't stand by and do nothing while pink slips are given to the men and women who educate our children and keep our communities safe," Obama said at a Rose Garden news conference, along side Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
Republicans derided the measure as a handout to teachers' unions, a key Democratic constituency, and argued that it would be no more successful at promoting a robust economy than the massive stimulus package Obama signed shortly after taking office in January 2009. Democrats argued that it would preserve the jobs of more than 300,000 workers by helping state governors plug their own budget holes.
