In a nation whose education budget is the equivalent of the defense budget is it silly to be talking about cuts.
Get bbehind and support the on demand texbook initiative and cut textbook cost by up to 75% and improve quality through individual curriculum customization.
Let students take the lead in organizing how learning should be organized and watch how integration of curriculums increase the amount of material delivered with higher quality experieinces for student and teacher alike; concurrently move away from age grading and allow the students personal strengths take the lead. No increase in cost.
Teachers get reflective about your chosen profession and give voice to the the better way of delivering the subject you are passionate about - improve the process and cust cost! Listen to Ken Robinson on www.ted.com.
When a system of management is awash in money, as education truly is, but delivering little value it is time to look at the delivery system - not cut costs. (since in a cost cutting frenzy those at the top are seldom asked to prove they add value...)
Stop wringing your hands and start cutting wood.......
