That is easier said then done with the budget cuts.
When I was in school in the 50s there were two classes in the same grade. One of low functioning or slow learners and another for high functioning or fast learners and classes were not as large as they are now. Sometime teachers taught several grades. My mother the only teachers in a one room church taught grades 1-8 and the class was not as large as some are today. My daughter in an Los Angeles high school in a class of 60 and she cannot see the blackboard are hear the teacher most of the time. Now teachers have large classes of low functioning, high functioning and non-English speaking children and we expect them to succeed in their jobs when it is virtually impossible.
I have a grand-daughter with special needs and from the age of 6 months me daughter took charge and got the best education she could get for her. She did not accept what was available but got what she needed to succeed and she continue to work after 23 years. Parents has to take responsibility. Education do not end with the school day but should continue in the home. It do take a neighborhood to raise a child. That’s how it was when I was a child.
With budget cuts in education teachers laid off, funding cut and large classes, and four day school, the future of our children look hopeless and most of them are hopeless.
We are worried about balancing the budget on the backs of our children? Education, healthcare and services for the elderly and poor should not have the budget balanced at their expense. The elderly have paid their dues and our children will have to pay theirs. But how is that going to be possible with the odds piled up against them. Obtaining their American Dream is like chasing the wind when budget cut are turning away student in higher education. Because of Gov. Sandoval of Nevada, cuts to higher education, and I quote; “higher education face having to turned away 20,000 students.”
