In a country where we are told that all students must be a grade level by 2014, why cut any programs. It has been proven that the arts increase academic achievement. So I think that the government needs to find the funds that allow students to reach beyond what they think they are capable of. Take the math and literacy coaches out of the schools. Don't give superintentents more than the necessary salaries-no fluff. Districts need to cut their budgets. The government needs to look in their own backyard for the unnecessaries expenses. Every year something is taken away from the students. They need the education to become successful, productive citizens of the future. They will be taking care of us in our future. I see every year more adoptions of new books because the government says we must change books- WHY? Then what do we do with the obsolete books! What a waste of money! STOP SPENDING AND USE WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE--ESPECIALLY IF IT'S WORKING!
