It's Nasty Out There

I guess Hickenlooper really meant it when I asked him in October how we will handle the budget issues for education. He said, "We'll have to figure out how to do more with less." I am shocked at how deep his cuts to education were in the proposed budget. Unfortunately, many of us are at the point where, as teachers, we (who are in front of children most of the day) are doing as much as we can physically take on. Doing more? How could we do more? When? I think it is more logical to think it will be more like we will have to"do less" for our kids when the classroom teachers are maxed out.
