Children are shortchanged by budget cuts

Yes we need a Circle of Protection around our children. They are harmed by budget cuts in many ways. Cutting their time in school is likely to damage their future as much or more than our budget deficit. Children need all the time that they can get to learn enough to compete in what is now an international job market.

One thousand of our schools nationally have increased time at school in order to help prepare our children for the future, but many schools are reducing learning time. For more information see http://www.timeandlearning.org/
