Teaching Without Paper


Budget Crisis 2008, The Sequel

Now, thanks to the California Legislature's inability to work together to solve the budget crisis, there is a spending freeze in education. The before-school and after-school intervention classes at my school have been canceled. Staff articulation has been canceled. Field trips, too. And, just to make it even more ridiculous, we are not going to be given any paper. So if I print a progress report on my computer to keep the parents informed of their child's progress, I have to supply my own paper. Or I guess I could ask the parents to please send in some paper.

I am so glad I do not have children or grandchildren in the public education system of this once-great state. It is very sad...
