Comment on More Funding For Gifted Education Please by Catkinso

Sara,

Thanks for visiting my blog! I totally agree with you that funding for schools in general should be increased and class sizes should shrink. We need more funds for technology in schools and training for educators.

I hope that as funding increases there is consideration for how the funding is balanced.

While more funding for GT students would be nice, most schools would rather have funding for any students right now. A lot of districts nationwide have been firing teachers and allowing class sizes to swell.

That hurts everyone.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. There are many days when I wonder if what I do as an educator is worth it. This video is a good reminder that we reap in a different season than we sow.
