I thought the President's call for more teachers was interesting.  Our district is facing a 9% budget cut which could include a loss of 25 teachers and many important programs for our kids. That's on top of a budget cut last year.  I know many other districts are facing the same challenge.  There are no jobs in education right now and the drastic decrease in public education funding is extremely frustrating as a parent and wife of a teacher.
