I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the following passage during a News 14 Carolina story on the governor’s continuing raise-taxes-for-education tour.
[S]ome teachers at the rally feel the governor’s plan won’t support education the way they’d like.
“I
think what’s happened is we’re couching it as for education, but
honestly I think it’s a way of getting taxes increased. I don’t see it
helping the educators,” said Deborah Cotton, a teacher at Murray Middle
School in New Hanover County.Some feel there are other ways to save education in the state.
“People
as it is can’t sometimes afford their homes. I just think that we can
trim the fat, we may have to trim it real close, but there are
definitely places, even in public schools, that we can trim to keep
class size down,” said Allison Gale, a teacher at Leland Middle School
in Brunswick County.
I wonder what Terry might think about this.
