Idaho News

The Idaho News story about the cuts that will have to happen make my blood boil.  I work for the Meridian School District and get scared, worried and annoyed.  I worry if I will have a job.  I worry about voicing my opinion because it has come back to haunt me by someone mailing my personal opinion out in a group e-mail and I get into trouble because of it.  I am scared to think about by cutting 14 days of school it would equal a year of school in someone's school career.  How do you make up for that?  I worry about more kids in a classroom.  How can you learn with 49 kids in a class?  I worry about the pay to play in sports and extracurricular.  I know if I paid for my child to "play" and they were bench sitters, I would want my money back.  I worry that teachers will not have their heart in teaching if they are worried about when the next shoe is going to drop.  I know the money has to be found somewhere but cuts are scary!
