January 30th, 2011

Via: Wall Street Journal:

New York City could lose $1 billion in education aid from the state, forcing the nation’s largest school system to cut more than 21,000 teachers, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Friday.

As Gov. Andrew Cuomo prepares to unveil his first budget proposal since taking office on New Year’s Day, Mr. Bloomberg and his new schools chancellor, Cathie Black, are bracing for what could be devastating cuts to city schools.

    Well seeing how China encourages learning … They want it for the state (IMHO), I want it for the individual to know and understand do something fantastic with their lives.

    Firing teachers is a bad thing. I don’t want to mouth slogans but … firing people who teach our children is a very bad idea.
