Teacher Layoffs Predicted

The Secretary of Education says many U.S. teachers may lose their jobs this year. Arne Duncan told the nation's Governor in Washington that local governments are looking to cut back on education in an effort to balance their budgets.



Class Dismissed

Some of your favorite teachers
May soon be getting pink slips.
Because of fewer tax dollars,
School districts are not in the chips.

Since those budgets need to be balanced,
The time's come to abrogate;
And say farewell to some of the folks
Whose jobs are to educate.

With the economy still in a tailspin,
And the job market less than inviting,
What do our Johnny's and Mary's
Need with all that reading and writing.
