New Breed of Teachers

There is a new breed of teachers that are entering into today’s classroom. I honestly do not agree with some of the things that are permitted in today’s school districts.

     Some of the members of the new breed of teachers do not follow dress code regulations. Low cut shirts and short skirts should not be permitted. Teaching is a profession, therefore dressing professional should be a requirement and not an option. I also believe that outrageous hair color should not be allowed. I think that if it is not suitable for students to wear, then the teacher should not be allowed to wear it either.

     I also do not believe that some of the new teachers are not equipped for the classroom. Prospective teachers should have more hands on time in a classroom so that they can get a better understanding of what it is like to become a teacher and the daily issues they will be challenged with.  

Budget Cuts in Texas

     Many districts across the state of Texas are feeling the effects of the budget cuts. This year Governor Rick Perry and his representatives found a solution to cut back spending. This solution was found in the education system. Many school districts are being forced to cut the jobs of many effective teachers and staff members. Another proposal in the budget cut was to increase each class size to 30- 35 students in one classroom.

     I believe that the budget cuts should not be made in an area that is far more important than other areas. Education is the pathway to all careers. I believe that the budget cuts will lower the quality of education given in a public school system. Parents will be left wondering if their child is receiving a quality education in the public school system. Students will be forced to see many of their favorite and most effective teachers get cut. Many teachers are keeping their fingers crossed, hoping and wishing that they do not get caught up in the cuts.

Here is an article about the current budget cuts:
