Think good thoughts....

Oldest DD got word today that she and 8 other teachers are due to be excessed out of their present jobs because of NYC school budget cuts. While that doesn't mean that she will be out of a job because she recently received tenure it does mean that it could be September before she knows what and where she will be teaching or perhaps warming a seat in the regional office until such time as they find an opening for her. Although she was a little apprehensive about her assignment for September which was to be a 5th grade inclusion class (that a class that's team taught and includes special education students and general education students) she was looking forward to the challenge. So think good thoughts that the state will give the necessary funding for these young teachers to maintain their positions and that it's done in their first session so that no one needs to spend a summer thinking of if, where or what kind of position they will have. In this day and age of subjecting these children (in NYS anyway) to the endless rounds of testing and constant talk of the quality of education in NYC that money for the education budgets would be a very high priority-apparently the mayor of the City of New York thinks a different way.
