School Is a Prison — And Damaging Our Kids

[DebJ]

47. Please convince Governor Gashole Corbett of Pa of that.

I know a lot of teachers who would be THRILLED right now if they could even get paper.
Try teaching 45 students to a class, 6 classes per day, and you are allowed 200 photocopies
per week........and the text books are horrible.
Forget pencils, pens, crayons, anything at all...
AND your pay is going to be cut 10% per year next year, and again 10% the next year, and again 10% the third year.

And by the way, the 7th graders you are teaching who have brain damage....if they don't pass the state test,
you are a horrible teacher and will be terminated............no thanks for your 28 years of service.

And if a student attacks another student in your class, you will be held responsible, and MAYBE the parents
will be contacted, and the students will NOT be removed from your classroom, no matter what they have done.

On Edit: I am not being unkind nor facetious in my reference to brain-damage. I am speaking literally of
children who are 12-13 and can barely function on a first grade level, due to physical issues with their brains
(like drug-addicted parents or having suffered severe abuse at home sexual and non-sexual).
