This year where there are so many teachers under fire from the right - where local governments are - with the right hand - giving tax cuts to corporations while taking away funding from schools/education with the other hand.

I would like for you to listen/watch this video -- because it is all about what we make in life - with our life -- are you making a difference to what really matters in life
or has it instead been changed to giving tax cuts to the very corporations that are holding on to trillions of dollars - refusing to use them to hire people back to work - or to open new factories - to invest in new technologies.
What kind of America is it -- when corporations are holding on to their money like stubborn little children refusing to share their toys.
What kind of America is it -- when corporations refuse to hire people unless they already have a job.
What kind of America is it -- when cuts are taken from schools - from education - from the future of the children.
What kind of America is it -- when -- what you do for the least of thee -- is considered socialism.
OK -- I have had my rant.
But I am just back from school today where I volunteer -- and I shudder to think what will happen next year with the cuts to come.
Up till I started helping out at school, like so many of you -- I truly had wondered how much money schools would actually need -- but when you see the great disparity in knowledge in reading and math in just one grade -- the amount of children with ADHD that are simply bouncing off the walls -- the amount of time the teachers spend preparing materials for the children -- well, I now have my answer. Curring teacher salaries, cutting education is not a way to make America a stronger nation in the future.
So my friends -- if there are children in your family - in schools ------ support teachers
