CA budget cuts!

I think that the teacher cuts are unfair to students and the whole educational system. By cutting teachers los angeles classrooms sizes are increasing and with class sizes increase students grades will go down, attendence will drop, and less students will graduate every year. In order to succesfully learn the material taught in classes students need to be able to concentrate, if there is too many students in a class a time students wont be able to do. Although the state of California needs money, firing our well qualified teachers are not the solution.

Teacher Layoff Discussion: The Money Is There To Save Jobs And Stop Class-Size Increases

During Mr. Caputo-Pearl's third period class, a discussion about budget cuts and teacher layoffs took place. Here are some of the things we discussed:

- Demands to save jobs and stop class size increases.
- Putting pressure on the School Board Members and Superintendent.
- Using federal stimulus money from President Obama to aid LAUSD.
- $423 million to save jobs if used correctly by the school board.
- KEEP UP THE FIGHT! Vote YES on the May 15th one-day work stoppage.
- Teachers hesitance to go on strike due to the economy. Since teachers who go on strike do not get paid for the time they are off, they are not as likely to take part in the May 15th one-day work stoppage.

Tardy Policy

I think that the tardy policy that CHS currently has is extreme. I think that studens should have cosequences for arriving to school late but making them pay $250 is simply uncalled for.Issuing these tickets only encourages students to not attend school at all because of their fear of getting a ticket that they cant afford to pay!Instead of giving students fines for being late, school administrators should consider the alternative of making them attend saturday school instead.

Security

I think the school spends to much money on security guards instead of getting stuff that we relly need like better luch food and better school supplies, Computers dont even work and shit...

TARDIES

I don't like the idea of ticketing tardy students because it's just an unnecessary expense. If students can barely afford to ride the bus back and forth to school, how can they afford a $250 ticket.

Teacher Cuts

I feel that teachers that fails majority of there students should get fire and should never be allowed to teach again, but teachers who pass there students should not be cut.

TARDY TICKETS

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT GETTING TICKETED EVERY TIME YOU'RE LATE TO SCHOOL? I PERSONALLY THINK IT'S A WASTE OF TIME AND IT ENCOURAGES MY STUDENT PEERS TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL WHEN HE/SHE KNOWS THEY'RE GOING TO BE LATE AND WHEN GOING TO COURT THE STDENT MISES ANOTHER DAY OF SCHOOL SO THAT WILL AMOUNT TO MISSING TWO DAYS OF SCHOOL. AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I'VE DONE THAT A COUPLE OF TIMES MISSED SCHOOL BECAUSE I WOKE UP LATE.... SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR OPINION ON "TARDY TICKETS??"
