Setting children up for failure

I am ashamed at the government and its reaction to its responsibility for our children’s education.

I am ashamed at the government and its reaction to its responsibility for our children’s education. We tell our kids to stay in school and graduate, yet they put so many obstacles in their way.

I am also ashamed of how many parents do not support the teachers. Have you done your homework? Why are teachers asking for what they are asking for?

Ask a teacher and find out how hard it is to want to do things but are denied by the government.

My children are everything, and I refuse to have them be failures. While I have the time to devote to my children’s schooling, many do not. Do you want your children to become that statistic? No graduation, no future? If we do not support the needs of our children and the teachers, we are setting our children up for failure. Bill 22 is bull. It is robbing our children of their right to education.

If our government wants to balance the budget, they should start with the outrageous bonuses and raises they give themselves. Cut those before you steal my children’s future!
