Guess Ol PrezBO shouldnt have made it part of his budget "deal."

This should show everyone exactly how much Obama cares for the poor and needy . He cares to the degree that he can use them for his own purposes! It is criminal to use this in his extortion of the American people. It has much less to do with any philosophy on his part, than it does his insatiable quest for power.

The sequestration will hurt no one don't believe the lies, This administration is spending like drunk sailors and they have to be stopped. I heard a recent statistic that just stunned me .... there are now 9 states that have more people on food stamps than people working !!!!! That is a death spiral , these states, 2 of which are California and Illinois will drag the whole country down. Man we needed Romney !

"Somerville Road Elementary teachers are scheduled to receive training Friday for a math program financed with federal Title I money".

If an Elementary school teacher needs training to teach any math from K-6th grade they need their teaching certificate pulled.

spot on Bill........they put the buzz words like "at risk, elderly and youth" and we all gasp. Go back to using your head. This isn't the end of the world. Learn how to do for yourself, let churches and families take care of folks. STOP scaring us every day. When is this going to end?

it will stop when we have all new representetives. clean out congress and white house. it will stop.

It is a workshop to learn strategies for teaching a particular Math program that has been adopted . Guess what? The teachers don't adopt programs, or even choose the training. They go to whatever training they are required to attend. Why don't you stop with your vendetta against teachers and look for somewhere else to place the blame?

Amen Greg!!!! Better yet get off your butt and become a teacher and walk a mile in their shoes before you run your mouth!!!!! If we made parents responsible for their children things would change. Hey I got an idea, lets base food stamp amounts based on student grades!!! I bet we would solve the problem of apathy of 47 million stampers blaming Teachers, we would have straight A poverty students when people begin losing their income from all the other tax payers! But we can't do that because politicians would lose votes if they blamed the right people, not making TEACHERS their SCAPE-Goats!!! Shame on elected officials and anyone who places all the blame on teachers, they have no clue what teaching even comprehends! Trust me when we have people eating a free lunch and breakfast at a school, and mommy drops them off in an ESCALADE we have a very serious problem, and it isn't teachers!!
