Budget Cuts in Education
Introduction
The most important thing that parents and communities can give children – besides food, clothing, shelter and love – is a good education. America has been educating its children through public schools and universities for well over a hundred years, and the value of what young people learn about history, science, mathematics, biology, geography and the environment is enormous and cannot be replaced. Alert, well-educated children who can solve problems and think creatively are the goal of every parent and every teacher in America. However, due to the recession and to the housing crisis, states and school districts all across America are having to cut back on funds for education.
