--About a decade ago, teachers were in high demand. Schools all over the country were in need of great teachers to fill the many positions that needed to be filled. This was the time when teaching was the profession that everyone was after and all most anyone who had a degree in education would be able to get a job.
--However, now teaching is a job that is starting to fizzle out because of the economy. School systems are having to cut teachers and cut their budget in order for the state to have enough money to fund other projects that they find is a 'necessity'. I find this to be a tragedy. States need to realize that schools should not be the one to lose money or teachers because they are the ones that are going to be the future of this country. We need to be able to educate our students for them to learn the necessary materials to become successful.
--I know that when I graduate there will not be that many teaching jobs available because of these budget cuts. Does this really help students? I really think that these cuts are hindering the ability of the students and I don't think that it is right that new teachers are not able to find jobs.
--How come football players like Tim Tebow (or any other athlete for that matter) can find a job playing football and teachers can't seem to find work. I really do not think this is fair because teachers are how this world is going to succeed; teachers are the ones that help children learn all the necessary things that they will need in order to grow up and become doctors, lawyers, farmers, and even pro-athletes.
---I love this country but I think we need to see what the most important picture is: teachers/education or pro sports? Don't get me wrong, I probably love sports more than anyone but I know what this country needs at this time and sports should not be number one on the list.
