Explaining Walker's K-12 Cuts to the Kids →
Jeremy Shown does his part to "explain to the kids" what Governor Walker's education cuts are and how students will be affected by them.
The student/teacher ratio here in Wisconsin is about 15 students for every teacher. I suspect your class may have more than 15 students because this ratio probably includes teachers who specialize in small groups of students that need extra help. Regardless, a ratio of 15 is right at the national average. A political ad that is running on TV here in Green Bay alleges that the Governor's cuts to education could increase class size to "35 to 40 kids in a class." Again, this sound like it is intended to scare people into opposing the governor. It's too bad that so many people will be convinced by an accusation that is almost certainly untrue.
Worth a read and something I agree with.
