Reserve judgment over teacher cuts

At a time when New Mexico has slipped back to 48th in the Kids Count national survey on child well-being, any attempt to reduce teaching staff will be viewed with a critical eye by wary parents.

48th out of 50 and now is the time to sit back and see what happens...?? what a lame editorial - no wonder there's no name attached to such shallow thoughts. What a wishy-washy piece of writing; what a travesty of thoughts... I'm ashamed for the newspaper and its staff.

There aren't enough teachers and EA's as it is. Cutting those positions will only make things worse. Why not cut positions that are redundant? Or cut the superintendents salary? Maybe if we put the money towards actual teaching, we wouldn't need programs like Read 180.

We pay $100,000 annually, plus benefits to a Superintendant. We have ONE school, K-12!! If the Board and the Principal can't handle a couple hundred or less students, we need to dump them! If we need more funds, dump the Super. He is an unnecessary!
