It seems the less educated among us are in charge of education

Each and every day I become more and more disgusted by the Governor's plan to cut more money from our schools. As if our schools, teachers, and students aren't already being asked to do more with the less that they have. Taking any more money from education is asking them to do more with NOTHING! It angers me that so many of our elected officials are so quick to put education on the chopping block. They tell us it's to balance the budget well my response is I'd rather have have a budget not balanced rather than short change my kids out of an education. Hell if we'd spend more money educating our kids they will become tax paying citizens instead of welfare receipients or jail inmates. Now thats where the unbalanced budget is coming from. Too much money being taken out to support individuals not putting money in. And yet we can't see that an investment now is going to pay off in the future. Why isn't educating our kids a bigger priority to our politicians and more importantly why isn't it a bigger priority us as parents. If the Governor doesn't want to support educating our kids then why are we supporting him. Maybe it's time we got a Governor who is interested in making our children's education a priority! Parents we must get involved in letting the School District, the State, and our Schools know that our children's education does matter to us. I was recently speaking to someone regarding our schools and I had some questions as to what it actually takes to fund one school for an entire year. Can any one tell me who I could contact to get this information?
