Budget Cuts
By: Jasmine
 
      We hear about budget cuts almost everyday. You may think they are not as important or serious as everyone says they are, but these cuts will impact many areas in schools. Kindergarten classes will be expanded to 30 students per class, many teachers and other staff will get laid off, and many schools will simply be shutting down. You may think that this will not affect you directly, but it will. Budget Cuts will affect everyone, from staff to students. I don't think any of it makes any sense. Why would you take away money from education? Children are the future of this country, as they will grow up and lead this nation. Do you want a to  have a group of uneducated people leading our nation? Do you think it is right to take money away from education? Where do you think money should be taken out of instead? Please explain.

I totaly disagree of cutting off education. The government can cut of something else like his own pay or his employes. Don't just sit there! Do something for pete's sake. I really want to send that to the California government. Save our teachers! Save our teachers! It is true that we are the future of this nation.

I strongly disagree with money
being taken out of education because if we all don't learn good education education then we won't get good a good job or a good college. If everyone didn't get into a good job or college than everybody would not be smart enough to be leader for our country and our economy will go down into the pits. We will all be poor and living on the streets and begging for money and food. It just wouldn't be a very pleasant sight to see. Instead of education I think they should take money out of Arnold Schwarzeneger's job, because he is the one who started all this.

No, I strongly do not think budget cuts is right. I think budget cuts should be taken away from stores. We already have a many stores in our state. So we do not need them. If we take away money from schools, students will have a bad future and it will be bad for us in the future too. Sooner or later, people will retire from jobs and if you take away money from schools, the students future might be that retired person's job. So it will also be bad for the economy.

Money should not be taken by schools for other purposes. I think it should be taken from the money they use to pay people who help in the government's office. The people who work there should think they are helping our community to be a better place. They can work but not be paid.

I do not think the government should take away money from schools because when you think about it, it is illogical. First, think about all the adults and how successful they are to have a career. Without education, they couldn't have gone that far. Now think about the kids right now. Do you think only the adults right now deserve an education? I think every kid in the U.S. deserves a good education, so the government should not take away money. If they need some money, they could take some money from big businesses.

I don't think that it is right for the government to take money away from education. First of all, many teachers will loose there job. If a teacher lost her job, she will need to find a new job which will be hard. Second of all, many teachers will have to be switched around into a new room. A lot of students will find it hard to adjust to their new teacher. Last of all, many schools will have to increase their classroom sizes. If that happens, students may not have enough attention from the teacher which will make kids learn worse.

I DO NOT THINK MONEY SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY FROM EDUCATION. Children need education to learn all about what is going to happen in life. Instead of taking money from education and giving it to jails, money should be taken away from jails and given to schools that actually need it!

I do not think that we should take money out of education. I do not think we should take money out of education because the kids that are learning right now might be the future citizens of the United States of America. If these kids do not learn enough our country would be a mess. There would probably be a bunch of people robbing things all the time. I think that we should take money out of logging. I think we should take money out of logging because logging ruins the habitat of many animals. It also is going to make life harder for future people. If we cut down trees there will be more carbon dioxide then oxygen and we would all die.

I think the government should not cut money from schools because they are just ruining the next generation. They should cut money from jobs that get too much money for their own good. Don't you want to get a good job? Well the only way is to have good education. I think the government should stop this nonsense.

No I don't think that money should be taken from education. EDUCATION!!! They might take away to much money and our schools and teachers might not get to stay any longer! I wish I could just go up to the govern people and say "You people are fools for taking money from schools!" But then that would be really rude.

I do not think that the budget cuts are going to have to move away from our school. It is totally unfair! They should take it out from places that earn a lot of money every day so the place will still have money and there would be money with Arnold Schwarzeneger will still have money!

I disagree with budget cuts but I'm not quite sure where we could take money from because it could affect other things. Like for example, if they start firing employees from engineers or something than some of our parents might lose jobs which is bad too. I know my mommy's work is firing people already just like schools. I personally am pretty disappointed with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I think he should start fixing this mess. Education is really important, our teacher teach us this and we love them, so don't even think about taking them away or else!! Also if we don't have education we might not get jobs and then things will get worse. Hopefully something will change, starting with to stop budget cuts and taking money from our education!!!!! Thank you :)
