Uncertain forcast

This is the title of the latest EW as "education adjusts to a new economic reality."   Teachers wages, pensions, and health care expenses are being attacked.  Policy makers are determined to drive those cost down as much and as fast as possible.  In essence, we must learn to do more with less.  This will require that fewer teachers reacht he goals that are set for the students.
