another CPS contact at work, major teacher layoffs in our contracted district and across the region, and the Head Start teachers in my organization are fighting about whether to unionize with heavy paranoia on both sides and threatening letters from our Executive Director, and it is time to write annual reviews...

Just found out my mentally retarded cousin is going to be a victim of the PA budget cuts. Details setchy since it's a secret unofficial source, but it looks like her assisted independent living is being cut.

Over the weekend we had a rally at the capitol to protest the extensive education/Medicaid budget cuts. 11,000 people showed up. Governor Rick Perry relented and said they would dip into the "rainy day fund" to cover... about 20% of the education budget shortfall. Gee, thanks.

We'll see what happens to Special Ed here, I haven't heard anything yet. The Republicans at the Fed level want to end Head Start, the Dem Governor is axing district funding (well not in the richest districts but the rest of the state) so we'll see about UPK. That might just end integrated programs. Interesting times.

Do you teach in New York?

Yeah.

Colorado education and programs to help low income disabled are taking deep hits. At this rate, the disabled will all die and Colorado's children will attain maturity with only the skills to work the jobs the illegals take now.

So maybe there's a method in the madness. No nasty disabled people cluttering up Colorado's image as a ski and vacation paradise and no illegal aliens that the authorities have to track down. :rolleyes:

1) asshole OCD PTO memory-deficient treasurer who constantly needs to recheck details/forgets what we've agreed.... and is patronising like I'm the one who needs reminding....

2) stupid fucking internet service

3) CNN who think expatriate is pronounced ex-patriot.
