Summary:
The article emphasizes the affect it has on schools that have extreme budget cuts. According to the article,the decline in state funding and the resulting rise in tuition since the start of the recession have accelerated a longer-term cost shift from states to students and families. This has an affect on how courses are offered and how much money is spent on the cost of the program. When there is a budget cut, many students take the fall because families end up paying for it from their pockets.
Reflection:
After speaking to my colleague about her engineering course, I noticed frustration. She is unable to teach effectively because she does not have an updated software to teach the engineering course, and as a result, she feels like she needs to subsitute materials for the software to make it an active classrom. She is forced to write her own grant in hopes of having to teach effective in the next months. I think it is quite frustrating to have to go through that because of the budget cuts. I do not think teachers should be going through such circumstances all year. It is difficult enough to be teaching courses that you have no experience in.
