Detailed Reaction:
Layoff rates in the Education field of the work force are high compared to layoff rates in other fields. Budget cuts in schools are always present nowadays. The economy isn't in a good state as of the moment, and that has had a huge effect on public schools in New York City. Obviously, Public schools receive funding from the government, and this means that the faculty and staff are dependent on the funding as pay for their services. Because of these budget cuts, many teachers and faculty members are either getting lower than average wages or they're getting laid off.
I think the government should direct more funds towards education. Relatively new teachers are being laid off because of these seniority rules, and i believe that's unfair. Newer teachers know how to connect with the students and profess to them seeing that they are young themselves. New teachers tend to be around the ages of 22 to 28. Most tenured teachers, however, are not "up to par" with students' learning needs and wants. They teach students in a bland and repetitive manner, whereas newer teachers introduce new teaching methods and put them into play.
These budget cuts try to compensate for useless losses in the education system and other systems as well. I think these spending habits are irrational and the government officials should be wary that closing failing schools is just the beginning of a big problem. The more schools that close, the more teachers and students are without a job or education, so they'll try to transfer to other schools that may already be crowded. So, if this problem becomes ongoing, many students will be deprived of an education, and many more teachers will be unemployed and applying to jobs that are limited due to said budget cuts.
