Education

Did you know that the Romney/Ryan fiscal plan would cut 20% from education? That would mean a loss of 380,000 more jobs. This on top of the loss of teachers that we have had thanks to the Republican governors and the republican govt's that were put in place under false pretenses in 2010.

Education is the most important standard for moving forward in this country. We need better educated children so they can make the important decisions in their lives to grow and become prosperous. But the republicans want to take that away from us. Why should we have an educated people? Because then we can have more inovative thinking, more entrepreneurs , more inventors etc.

We need our children to be educated! They need to learn history, math, english, the arts, and yes even sports. We need to keep our qualified teachers in front of the classroom. We need the classrooms to be smaller so the children can get more of an individual education. We can't do that by cutting spending by 20% on education. That is the wrong way to go.

We need to invest in our children and their education. The way to do that is to keep our public education strong. Because of the changes in the path that our Republican governor has taken ( I'm in PA ) more parents are sending their children to Charter schools because the classrooms are smaller and the education is better. ( I will admit, that all charter schools aren't created equal, if you want to send your child to a charter school, check it out. )

But this is about Public Schools and how we need to strengthen them. Become involved. Go to the school board meetings, meet with your childrens teachers. You have to invest your time and yes money in your childrens' education. 

Please.
