Christie For Prom King!

Prom. Prom is silly. It's supposed to be 'the highlight of senior year', but it's just a silly dance. I'm sure it'll be a good time and i'm kinda excited about it, but I don't think it's worth all of the hype and the money put into it. I wonder if now that Governor Christie is destroying everything else in school, he'll take away the funding for prom as well. Hmm, let's get into that a little, shall we? This man, Mr. Chris Christie, is our new Governor of New Jersey. I don't know all of the details, but what I've heard from teachers and students is that he is making a whole big mess in our area. I go to a good school. It's a nice public school in a good district, with good teachers and good programs. The terms that Christie is putting into effect are about to make my school a not-so-good one. Why is he doing it? Why is he attacking education, when that is clearly one of the most necessary structures in our society? I'd like to meet him, talk to him, try to understand his reasoning because right now it just looks silly. Why would someone vote for him? I have yet to meet someone who is happy with what he is doing. If everyone is upset about what he's doing...then why is he our governor? Why didn't they see this coming in his campaigns and speeches? It's just really sad for our teachers. Today was the day that 'pink slips' went out to the teachers, meaning that they do not have a job in this school next year. Most of the teachers that have been teaching for less than five years are not returning next year. Those teachers are for the most part the best teachers that I have had thus far in. The really sad part is that I know of several teachers that left a tenured position at another school to come to my school, and now since they don't have tenure at this school, they're fired. It's terrible. Technically it doesn't affect me because this is my last year in high school, but I still feel like something needs to be done. I really want to interview this guy. I'm interested in knowing what he's really thinking about this. Is he really a cold-hearted, money-obsessed man? Or is he just a guy trying to do what he feels is best for his state? I'd like to tell him how much this is hurting our schools and our lives even. I have friends that now have no source of income for next year, because their parents are teachers and now no longer have a job. I don't know that I really dislike the man, because I feel like I can't judge him when I've never even seen him speak. But I really don't agree with the things he's doing and I feel as though he needs to be told by someone directly affected, just how difficult things are becoming. Education is not a thing to waste, Mr. Christie.
