School Cuts Hurt Kids by Eliminating Great Teachers

http://ourfuture.org and http://nea.org release the report "Starving America's Public Schools" (http://ourfuture.org/starvingschools). This report finds that there is a growing crisis in America's public schools — one that is far more real and much more dangerous to our nation's children than the prevailing narrative suggests. New austerity budgets passed by state legislatures are starting to have a huge influence on direct services to children, youth, and families. Meanwhile, schools also are facing enormous pressure to transfer tax dollars to targets outside traditional public education. This is one of a series of videos exploring the impact of these policy decisions on our nation's children.
