Why should budget cuts affect our children’s future? Unfortunately, the state of the economy is such that our students are greatly suffering. Not only are teachers victims of the budget cuts, but much more importantly, budget cuts are affecting the students. I teach ninth and tenth grade global history in a multi-cultural urban school where technology is extremely limited. I would like to be able to offer my students the greatest capability to ensure their place in the world. My job is to prepare them for college and by using technology, I will be equipped with tools to empower my students for their college education.
