Here is a picture of Bev Perdue reading a story to the elementary children. It tells them how their classrooms will have a whole lot of new friends next year, and they will have lots of fun being off task while the teacher tries to deal with one of the six or seven extreme special needs cases in the classroom. Oh and there's no teaching assistant because the whole grade level is sharing one and she is on bus duty, or cafeteria duty, or hall duty or whatever else they can think of for her to do. But she is happy too. And now for the scary part ... this is happening today and they are going to cut the budget even more! So now who knows what kind of fun you will have. Bev will be in her comfy high tower away from it all. How about getting into the trenches with the rest of us you hypocrite and stop saying that you care about education and the children's future. You are creating a nightmare for this state on many levels.
