Not too long ago, it was announced that there will be $165 per pupil cut, and now they just announced another $127 per pupil cut.
The economy is in a time of need. Schooling is so important for children and teenagers, and it's important for them to get the good schooling to continue onto college.
It's so hard for the teachers, as they have larger class sizes and not enough money to buy the things for the classrooms, such as books and things, as they don't have the money. If they do, more than likely it is coming out of their pocket.
Students now have to start taking in their own school supplies that schools used to supply for the students, such as paper and things.
Why would we want to make budget cuts to the most important thing Michigan needs? You got me....
I'm with you on this one. In a time where education is one of, if not the biggest determining factor in being hired for a job, you would think that would remain a priority. I know that at my high school, activity fees for playing on a sports team or being in a club increased almost every year because of budget cuts. It's sad when you want to get involved with your school but can't afford to; These are things that should be provided at virtually no cost to students or their families.
