What's wrong with this picture!

America, I just became aware that the (DISD) The Dallas Independent School district is offering teachers up to $10,000 to retire early , like at the end of this school year. Coincidentally this offer comes at the same time that the city is experiencing a budget shortfall. I am perplexed!!! It seems to me that if you are experiencing a money shortage, how then does one come up with the funds to entice teachers to retire, why not use that money to retain them?!! Our children are already lagging behind in Math , and Science, having to do without most extracurricular activities, not to mention being technologically insufficiently educated for today's job market. I ask you whats wrong with this picture.!!? Kids today are more vulnerable to becoming dropouts because of a lack of innovation and /or interest in whats going on in the classrooms, and now they have to maintain that interest with fewer teacher. All I can say that if you want a generation that is less likely to surpass the baby boomers educationally speaking" then You DISD are on the right track! "I'm just saying."
