Student-Parent-Teacher

I have chosen an article that discusses teachers receiving pink slips, getting laid off. One teacher says that for the last three years he has been hired and fired every year and it's very discouraging. About 120 parents, kids, and teachers have held signs after school to protest these pink slips that have been issued last week. It has become evident that the first lay offs are the music and art program and a parent shares that her child is gifted in music and they do not want to see the music program go under because it is enjoyed by many. In places it has been known to pink slip 24 out of 25 teachers which is unbelievable. The article also explains that because other classes are closing down and laying off teachers that other classes are filling up. Students, Parents, and Teachers also plan on protesting all of this week and through April.

I disagree and also agree with this article in some way. I agree with feeling as if the first classes to go are art and music, because who could get rid of something like English and History.. they are absolutely necessary for college and everyday life. I can see why people would be upset of course, because it would be good to have to class and not want it, then not have it and want to be in it and learn what it has to offer.
I disagree with the article by saying it is not fair to any teacher to get the scare of a lay off. I especially don't see it as right to punish just music and art teachers because of their chosen profession. I understand that music and art are key elements to some people and to a teacher I imagine they feel the same, so why fire them just because of what they teach. I don't see randomly handing out pink slips as a good thing, it could stress out any human being and for what? Just lessen everyone's pay.. it would make more sense.
It was a good article, it just had disagreeable and agreeable aspects that I felt necessary to harp on. It wasn't wishy washy, just a bit scattered with information, such as a school teacher saying one thing and then jumping to a whole different school and someone else saying a whole different thing, but it was a good article.
