Ok here is my angry tirade about the state of education, specifically in Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
Ok, so I get it the economy sucks, most people and most organizations & businesses have had to make cut-backs. It is certainly understandable given the fact that too much money was spent for too long, and people get greedy. People (myself included) need to learn what is really important.
HOWEVER, why oh why must the most be taken out of education the majority of the time. It's like cutting from education is the first thing on the chopping block. And furthermore why oh why is the first thing teachers! Don't people realize that will negatively impact students!!! I know that part of this is because I was laid off due to budget cuts, but even so I mean this is just crazy. Students, no matter how intelligent and hardworking, cannot learn in classroom full of 50 other children!!!
You know I wonder how much money the school systems would save if there wasn't as much as much being spent on testing...

There may not be a silver bullet to solve the recession, but quite literally the best long-term solution to any problem we face and could ever face is having a solid educational infrastructure. I'm at a loss as well for why it's always among the first things to be chopped.
