Good evening guys,
This is Ryo Kanno.
Today, I checked NPR podcast and listened the following news:
http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=13994805
This news is all about the budget cut for education in state schools in California. The news disscusses the bad effects on students who seek high quality of education. According to this news, an educational super-intendent in Calfornia state tries to persuade the board members of educational commitee, insisting that the plan of budget-cut must be rejected because the plan will ruin the students' opportunities for education and slowdown the effort to develop the equality to access to comuputer technology.
I cannot believe the news of the budget-cut for education in California, mainly because the government of the U.S. is now controlled by democrats -- not republicans. We usually expect that if the democratic party takes over the governmentality, the condition on education can be improved. It is because democrats usually distribute high budged for education in order to achieve the ideal of equal opportunities for education. But, the economical crisis in market and financial crisis, especially in California, seem getting worse and more serious than we expected before.
How do you guys think about this budged-cut for education?
If you are interested in the news, please check the link I put above.
See you, then.

May be the government has a good plan to pass the financial crises and this cut will help them to achieve there goal.
ReplyDeleteGood job and keep it up.
California is a federal state of the U.S. with a special government. When the state has no money are education and social care the first points for cutting budget. I condemn it too.
ReplyDeleteCarina is correct. Each state in the US makes its own decisions about education and California is in a very dire economic situation (do you know what dire means?)
ReplyDeleteI thought you did a good job summarizing this story. I wasn't able to find the link to the actual story very easily but after reading the headlines for stories on the website you provided, I knew which one you listened to because your summary was so complete. Here's a link to the story:

I also thought you did a good job explaining your opinion and writing another question. Keep up the good blogging!
Wow! Ryo, congratulation this is one of the best summary ever. I read it all and it is very explicit. you know what? this is really one of the most unexpected things ever, but, you know, people do crazy things sometimes.
