Keeping the Lights On

While exploring certain areas for possible cost reductions can be beneficial, overzealous and reactionary measures will further destabilize the public education system we seek to build. As any student can tell you, teaching occurs beyond books and homework. We should not seek to diminish the contributions of coaches, counselors, administrators, and others who job title may not include the word “teacher”, but who do just as much to foster student development. Education is more than classrooms, and we need the funding to keep the lights on in the hallways (and the gyms, and offices, and libraries), too.
