Presentation Reflection

I didn't think that the presentation was that bad cause i knew what i was talking about the only thing is trying to explain what i know with kids but overall it wasn't that bad. i would do it again i really didn't mind presenting. presenting helps so that you are more confident and its a skill that will help you get far in the workforce.

School board gives OK to reduce work force - if needed

Gaston County Board of Education gave Superindent Reeves McGlohon the power to make reduction in the school system by force if neccessary. the article said that their will be a cut in the work force as well that will affect both certified and classified workers. also their will be a 225 million dollar budget cut between grades 4-12 all across the state. So things are going to get tougher for the younger kids i only have one more year of school so im not worried about it as much but still its something people should be worried about. cause if they start making cuts in the school system then there is a chance that the students are the ones who are going to be affected by it. less money in schools might mean less quality education and that not good at all.
