It amazes me how this country has fallen apart financially in almost every area with no turnaround soon.

Its really starting to get to a point in where I am questioning if I will even live here in 5 years.

It's definitely your life and you have no obligation to go back but I personally would go back and try to uplift the community I came from and inspire those kids.

Of all things government can cut, education should NEVER be one of them. This type of shyt sickens me.

You have to send your kids to private school now just so they will know what recess is.

NBC 10 Philadelphia : BREAKING: Philly School Leaders Approve 'Doomsday' Budget

Faced with a huge deficit, education officials in Philadelphia have approved a bare-bones budget that even the district's chief executive says "falls catastrophically short" in providing an adequate education for its students.

The School Reform Commission approved a $2.7 billion spending plan that includes drastic cuts in art, music, athletics and other programs.

The vote means thousands of layoff notices could begin going out next month to assistant principals, guidance counselors and other employees.

Parents, teachers, students and community members begged the panel to reconsider, but commission members said they had little choice given the district's $304 million deficit.

School officials say they will work to secure additional funding from the city and state to help reduce the impact of the cuts.
