							| Question For American Teachers 
 |  
							| There is such a big problem in Illinois, where I teach, our state owes just our school district 1.3 million dollars, and over 130 teachers (both non-tenured and tenured) are being layed off. I know some classrooms are going up to 40 kids next year. How is it in your state? |  25 Apr 2010

							| Hi,   I �m so sorry to hear this. We are losing teachers, too, in Georgia, but we still don �t know how bad it is going to be. In fact this is the latest contracts have ever been given out in Clarke county.    Good luck,   Carla Horne |  26 Apr 2010
