So, Iowa is in a desperate budgetary situation? How did Governor Reynolds let this happen?
It appears you don't know what deflect means.
You are consistent with your cowardice though.
Garry… before Branstad and Republicans took over Iowa was rated #1 or #2 (behind Wisconsin) in quality of public school education… The Iowa GOP has dedicated the past 40+ years to degrading the qualifying Iowa public school education in favor of tax cuts fir the rich and using Iowa tax dollars for private school education. Underfunding the entire scope of public education (K-12 and regent schools) has been a well planned and crafted assault by “the right” of Iowa. Those who have supported Branstad and Reynolds should ashamed of their work….and their legacy to Iowa youth.
Watch out Mississippi! Watch out Arkansas! Here comes Ioway!
How can Iowa be constrained “financially” unless it is by intent? Iowa has chosen NOT to adequately finance its public schools for the Branstad and Reynolds administrations. They have decided to cut taxes for their rich friends and corporate entities and aid their rich friends who want to send their kids to private schools.
Iowa’s legislature has voted to increase the school budget 2.25% yesterday…. But they (GOP) complain inflation has been running at 1O+%…. Tell be doggy, who’s lying! Who’s not “keeping up”?
You know the teachers unions were around when Iowa ranked much higher? You know the states ranked in the top 5 all have unions, right?
Agreed. I asked my wife this evening if class sizes were the problem or the behavior of her class was the problem.
She told me she could easily teach 30 first graders at a time if there werent behaviors to deal with.
Yes parents are the problem. Raise your kids to shut up, sit still, respect adults, listen when spoken to and keep your hands to yourself.
Also, stop 'babysitting' with a phone or tablet. This does nothing to help attention. Makes it worse. We have an ADHD crisis and since kids are told it's an illness not a trait that one csn learn to manage, it doesn't get better.
If I were her, I'd kick some ass, and if that didn't work, I'd call the parent(s) every single day behavior was an issue to pick your shit head kid up right that minute. You call the parent away from work a few consecutive days and problem solved.
Enough taking the kid out if the classroom to go to the principal to get a hug and a snack. She says she has kids in her class that fall asleep every afternoon during lessons. Mostly she thinks, because the parents don't enforce a reasonable bedtime.
Education needs to change right now or we won't have teachers. And no, funding is not the problem. Parents that don't GAF or don’t know how to be a parent, because they never had one. We need to allow discipline in the classroom. No more DoJ rules preventing teachers from doing what is necessary.
