I received this email today and I thought it worth sharing with you. If you live in North Carolina, please click on the link below and show your support for our teachers. In my daughter’s high school alone, they lost two great teachers last year due to budget cuts.
The petition is very close to its goal of 5,000 signatures. Help them get there by signing the 1% for Kids petition online.
Dear North Carolina MoveOn member,
The loss of thousands of North Carolina teachers is hurting our kids and our economy.
That’s why I created a petition to the North Carolina House and Senate and Governor Beverly Perdue on SignOn.org,which says:
We the undersigned support a 1% surtax on individuals earning more than $250,000 per year, with the proceeds going exclusively to hire back the thousands of North Carolina teachers who have been fired due to state budget cuts. Our kids are our economic future, and a high-quality education system is essential to ensuring that our state will continue to be a good place to live and do business.
Will you sign the petition? Click here to add your name, and then pass it along to your friends:

This is very sad. Education and livelihood are being affected here. With the economy right now, the Government should at least put the education budget on top priority, don’t you think?
Thanks!

i totally agreed with shirley..
My sister is studying to be a teacher and I just do not understand what is going on with all these attacks on them! I live in FL but I hope this gets resolved for NC and other states with similar legislation.
These is not just a common case that needs a great time to think of.

It is a pity that so many teachers were put on the job seeker line. We need teacher to grow as a society, the good ones should be rehired.

I anm beginning to wonder whether we are going to have enough teachers to teach our children with the amount of lay offs continually taking place. Lets hope they are keeper the good teachers and not the loafers.
