Thoughts on Sharing Web Resources
As I explored the Association for Childhood Education International
http://acei.org/ website I found links and resources relevant to my professional development like the Global Campaign for Education. This website encourages professionals to stay updated with education in the news and provides an opportunity to quickly sign up for e-newsletters. The most current news that I also found disappointing is “President Obama’s decision to “cut international education funding” (Global Campaign for Education 2012) the nature of the idea saddens me because I asked myself “Why would anyone make a decision to cut funding in education?” I believe education is the foundation for success. Doesn’t education encourage us to become professionals? Learning starts immediately its human nature. I understand that people can develop hands on skills but without the foundation of learning how are individuals successful? I must be unaware of the details of funding for education however cutting funding seems like a wide and constant http://acei.org/ controversial issue. I don’t believe this information adds to my understanding of how politicians support not just early childhood education but education in general. Since reading this current news takes my interest in politicians a bit lower. This issue bothers me personally because I just don’t see the benefit for our children’s future by cutting any type of funding for children. It seems any type of education program that involve children struggle for funds. Clearly the importance of investing in children’s futures with funding education is not on the top of everyone’s priority list.

I really find this disappointing as well. It's like so many people in high positions have forgotten the importance of education. They have forgotten that they had to have an education to get to the point that they are now. Teachers are already being paid lower salaries than other professions but to cut funding is harming the children.
Ms.Jay,
You are so right when it comes to the understanding of how funding for children and education can be cut and how it can possibly help our future. It seems we spend more in other areas and our children and families are left to suffer the consequences. We do need to be the voice to keep education a priority!
Jeaneth,
Thank you for sharing your web resources! I understand your concerns regarding Obama's funding cuts in education. I think that education is the key to success in any society and I just wish that more people in our country would share the same value!
Thanks for sharing!

Jeanneth,
I agree with you,that the children and their education always seem to be the ones to suffer when it comes to funding.We as early childhood educators and advocates should be upset when their future is compromised.
