My friend Tim Jemal's blog has a great post on California education cutbacks, "California Not So Golden" ( http://jemalpublicaffairs.com/?p=15 ) and it stroke a chord with me.
Other countries are investing in education and its paying off. Medical research, computer software, and manufacturing jobs are leaving the country and moving to these countries that are investing and providing incentives. Once the expertise moves to other places it will be very hard to get it back.
We all need to voice the need for more education budget. I would gladly pay more taxes for this. Instead I am having to donate money and work on fundraisers. Ratios of 30-35 students to one elementary teacher are not acceptable.
Please read Tim's blog entry.
