[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have friends in charter schools in Colorado, Michigan, and NYC and they are all laying off teachers.

There is also this in Detroit, in public schools (not charters)

I think some of the Detroit news (re: laying off the entire teaching staff) is posturing to get the feds to give needed money.  But I do think that all of us teachers need to be concerned.  My spouse and I are both teachers and we have a lot of seniority and high ratings.  In theory, this should shield us.  Younger teachers with less seniority and lower ratings won't be so lucky.  My best guess is that schools are going to see about 20% of their budgets cut.  All the extras and then some will go.  Hello to large class sizes, good-bye to sports and after school extras and very little support for those who struggle.[/quote]

Yup my friend who is a reading specialist (pull outs, works with kids in small groups) got laid off, as did the specials teachers in her school. As budgets are cut, schools will cut to the bone to compensate. Hey but at least we are all “safe” right?![/quote]
