In one of our classes a little while back we looked at a budget of a school. We had to cut the budget, every schools nightmare. I thought that this was a very difficult job to do. Everything that was on that sheet was important and is great for the school. There was nothing to cut that was a easy choice. When you really thing about it you think about taking away that band class that one kid really loves or someones job that they love like the speech pathologist. It makes the cutting of the budget even harder to do. I would not like to be in the situation of having to be in charge of all this. I would not be good at making these decisions I feel I will leave these decisions to the principal and I will stay as the teacher.
In our class we had a little bit of a heated discussion about what to cut. I feel that extracurricular activities like gym and band are so important for kids as they are growing up. In many cases it is the one thing they are good at and get confidence from. So to cut programs that have such benifits is such a same.
