Does Florida really suck?
I cannot believe what has happened to
Florida, it is ruined. Florida is 49th in the school system, because of
the government not being able to manage the money well. We are 49th, out
of 50, while we are the fourth highest populated and 22nd largest.
Having this many people, it's obvious that many people are affected.
Because of the government's money problem, chances are that summer
school will be cancelled. I know many people that wanted to take summer
school to get ahead, but they probably won't be able to. Just imagine
the people that planned on taking summer school, but because they can't
they won't be able to graduate. The people that are the most affected,
in my opinion, are the teachers that were going to teach it. Since I'm
surrounded by them, I know how they feel. Some teachers get paid jack
shit as it is, because we are 49th. To make a decent salary it takes
like 30 years, on almost any other job, a 30-year veteran would get a
lot more than the teachers do. Anyway, because the teachers don't get
any money, they are forced to work at summer school. If summer school is
taken away, they'll have to find an alternate job, which won't pay as
much, because they would have just started it. How would you feel being
a veteran working for $5.00 an hour?
