Hinweis der Redaktion
- President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act in 2002, which was terribly underfunded. He then went on further cut the US Department of Education’s budget. In 2005, he cut about $2 billion from educational programs and then went on to cut more than 42 programs. And by cut, I mean eliminate entirely. This became the largest cut from the Department of Education’s budget in its 27 years. It weighs heavily on economically and disadvantaged students the most.

- In California, older textbooks are being used for longer periods of time to save money. They have already eliminated many teaching and faculty positions, yet are still trying to make ends meet. Most public schools in California will not be able to afford new textbooks until 2014. While some schools can afford the new books, they have opted for hiring and training new teachers and faculty.
- Because of these cuts, students are now turning towards a more electronic based learning environment. Teachers can place homework assignments online and have the students print them off at home and complete them for the next day. This also adds on to the financial situation. Students who do not have a at-home computer will have trouble with these assignments. And also between the printing and ink costs online assignments will also become a burden on low-income families.
- Programs, like some I have previously mentioned that are designed for a student’s best interest, are being cut or the funding for it reduced. A specific program, called “Reading First”, which is designed to help student literacy, has been drastically cut. Some schools, in order to help themselves out of this financial crisis, have made the students themselves by their own textbooks and handouts. Those low-income families who cannot afford this extra cost of their children’s education have been hit the hardest. Class sizes, due to many teachers and faculty being laid off, are expanding just to fit the needs of everyone. Many teachers are now being assigned more than one subject to teach due to this dilemma.
- Some communities are reaching out to the public to help ease this burden. Some are pushing for a tax increase to support the growing cost of education. Many people are opposed to this, because of how high taxes are in some areas. But in 2009, President Obama passed the stimulus package, which was $787 billion dollars, $100 billion of that went straight for education. In October 2009, officials say that this stimulus package helped save over 250,000 jobs, which include teachers, administrators and other faculty.
- Six months after the stimulus package, many schools are finding it harder to pay for teachers and to fund extracurricular activities. California is a state that is being hit the hardest. In some areas, many teachers are being laid off and the ones who survive the ax are getting hit with a smaller paycheck. Class sizes are becoming larger, which results in less individual attention. Many people are worried that today’s generation of students will not have the education needed to survive in the real world when the time comes. An idea of a second stimulus package was brought up, but many do not want to keep borrowing for foreign countries and keep increasing our national debt. Schools are stuck making some of the toughest decisions they’ve ever had to make.
