View submission: The Mental Gymnastics is Infuriating
I appreciate you thinking of us but the answer isn’t to blow the whole thing up, it’s to vote on REFORM. Removing it is only going to keep admin richer while us and the kids suffer from lack of resources we used to get with Title I funds.
Title I funds give teachers a bonus in pay to entice us to work in underprivileged and underserved communities that usually have more difficult student populations.
At my site, Title I funds are what pay for all of my student supplies so that I don’t have to pay out of my own paycheck to support students who can’t afford supplies.
Title I funds provide food to students who don’t otherwise get to eat
Title I funds provide better sports programs at low cost of living areas that aren’t supported by high property taxes.
Title I is a GOOD thing that will devastate poor, rural communities in middle America who have benefited off the federal fund contributions of higher cost of living states such as CA and NY.
There's nothing here!
