Budgeting Time to Teach about the School Budget
Weiss, Dale
Social Studies and the Young Learner, v24 n2 p28-32 Nov-Dec 2011
As a teacher in the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) for the past 16 years, the author has grown used to dismal budget cut news arriving each February. Although cuts are always frustrating and their results burdensome, the school has been able to "hang on" reasonably well. This year, however, the budget cuts were extreme. In this article, the author discusses how to teach students about budget cuts. (Contains 2 notes.)
