Mr.Madisons present: comparing two articles

Similarities for article #1 and #2:

  • Both explain teacher layoffs in the western south.
  • Both say that just because a teacher got a lay off, dosent mean that they are fired
  • Both give an exact number of teacher lay off's.
Differences for article #1 and #2:
  • Article two explains that a pink slip isn't permanent, it's just a way for the legislative to figure out the budget.
  • Article one explains that school funds are bases off of attendance.
  • Article two compares pink slips to 2009 and 2010.
  • Article one explains that the last hired teachers are usualy the first fired. And that the first hired teachers are usualy the last fired.
WHAT WOULD I DO??????

Just because I am a teen, dosent mean I can't make suggestions. I would fing an alternative source to help with school budget. Cutting off teachers and increasing classroom sizes is a bad idea, it ruins the childs ability to learn and develope. I would ask school's to spend money wisely such as using solar panels, recycling, etc. If we used these, then we could increase the budget thus helping with teacher lay offs. I know this won't completly stop teacher lay offs, but if we all make these small differences, then we can stop teacher lay offs.

                         HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR.MADISON!!!!!!!!
