We’ve referenced Alison Rhodes, the Safety Mom, here before. She sent out a plea today that talks about a pending Jobs Bill that could affect our teachers and kids and our educational system.  Check out what she has to say and if you’re so inclined take action. I did – because kids are important to me! And I know they are to you too!!!

We all know that great teachers can make all the difference in our kid’s lives.  They deserve every opportunity possible to succeed and that requires the best education and services available.

Our children’s quality education is under threat from budget cuts– music and arts programs, bus routes, sports, extracurricular activities, books, crossing guards and foreign programs are all on the cutting block–and teacher layoffs could mean perhaps as many as 35 or 45 students per classroom.   

This is not the answer!   Students need individual attention, not crowded classrooms and fewer educators, to succeed in the 21st century and help keep America competitive.  

The good news is that an education amendment has been added to the pending jobs bill in Congress, which will help schools avoid such drastic cuts.    I am asking that you help me get the word out.  We need to be one voice telling Congress to pass the Education Jobs Fund.   We must let our congressional representatives know how we feel about children’s education as well as support our teachers! 

 Here’s a link to help you send an e-mail directly to your representative  http://bit.ly/8ZBh8M.  This vote is coming up next week so please fill out as soon as possible and forward to all of your friends!
