Why can't we all just get along?
You know, there's a few subjects that just seem to get people fired up! And as voting day gets closer and there's a school levy on the ballot people are getting VERY fired up. The problem is that all this does is divide people, because we can't agree to disagree. Oh no. I'm right and your wrong is the attitude. And since this particular issue involves the school there's instantly anger that if you vote no it's because you don't love kids and you don't care about teachers. I was like that a year ago when it was on the ballot then!! I made nasty comments and yelled at people!! Ugh. Sorry. The fact of the matter is I love all kids and think that teachers have a very important job and deserve many things. Our kids don't deserve to have music and gym and art taken away from them and taking library away is just plain stupid. BUT, the system is broken. And giving them more money won't fix anything. They can't even tell us if those cuts will be given back if the levy passes! The administration will still make double what the teachers make, the kids will still be driven by these stupid tests and teachers (and most gov't employees) will still get benefits that no one in the public sector would ever be able to afford because it would bankrupt their businesses. So, there you go. I'm undecided, can you tell?
