A Response to " Babies, Babies, Babies Rights?" Blog

There is a blog that I recently read that I found to be informative and yet also very unappealing at the same time. I made the following comment to the blog. : "Although I find the information shared in this blog very informative I also can see how the information shared could come across as not only unappealing but also difficult to understand. Not super difficult to understand at all just lengthy and on such a touchy topic I find it important that one catches the reader with their point right of the bat. It is not who is involved or what they are discussing but how it is being presented to those reading it. Although I can not personally agree with every statement and decision made based on my own personal values I will say that I find the argument persuasive and interesting. However, I have to go as far as to say that if you are going to discuss such a sensitive topic with so much force and expect people who need to hear it to not only read it but actually get a understanding of why it is that your information is important you have to bring it a little bit closer to easy understanding and therefore go straight to making your point understood to all that read it."

I would strongly suggest that others read this blog as it is interesting and give their opinion as it is informative as to how many different views there are on certain situations that people would rather run from than have a intelligent conversation about. Not everything has to be an argument would have to be my ultimate suggestion. :)

Public School Teachers Needing A Miracle

In 2011, the Legislature eliminated more than $5 billion in finances from public education and shed approximately 25,000 employees. The state's loss of education funds, grown class sizes, and lack of moral among the teachers has now become one of the most addressed problems in the state of Texas.

 Although, many teachers are refusing to give up hope on the education system others are finding themselves confused on what to do next with their lives. Students are being crowded into classrooms with a teacher that are not getting paid for the time and focus that they are expected to produce. It would be safe to say that with the increased amount of "attitude" among growing children, in some cases the lack of stabilities in homes and the need to feel "popular" can cause stress to a teacher's life. With all considered teacher's unexplained drop of morale can be traced to far more than just state budget cuts. All the budget cuts do is tell the teachers that they need to put up with more stress.

Many are fighting both sides of the argument on what to do with the state's education funding and teacher salaries but there are no real decisions or solutions being produced. Many republicans are trying to come up with a solution that does not raise taxes or touch the state's "rainy day fund" of some odd $6.5 billion.
  Texans are concerned with the education that their children are receiving and yet also do not want to increase their taxes. Texans need to face the evidence that the state's representatives are not going to touch the money that is set aside for emergencies to fund education; therefore, alternatives are going to have to become a reality to many. An easy solution would unfortunately at this point be to pay the higher taxes or come up with alternate suggestions.
  Although now that the teacher salaries and education funds are being addressed many should take the time to address the teacher morale. Gary Dworken, a University of Houston professor, has and is currently collecting data that shows teachers in 2002 were half as stressed as they are today. He points out that teachers are having to deal with a lot more than just pay cuts at this point. It would be unwise to point out that the more than 5% of children in alternate schools, for misbehavior in the regular school systems, help in this area.
Texans and even more so those that are parents need to really consider their children’s futures and what impact their decisions today can truly make on them.
