American Education 2009

Many teachers all across the country have the same problem. There is no money to buy them the things they need. Budgets are always tight. It seems the schools can barely supply paper and pencils, let alone update technology, new books, or cool science equipment. That is why I think Donors Choose is such an important site, and a great way to fund today's classrooms. This year many teachers at my school caught on to donorschoose.org. They put on the site items they needed for their classrooms, like teaching games, laptops, digital cameras and books. And believe it or not, there are many generous people out there, who donated to the causes. So many teachers received materials that were purchased by the generosity of others. How cool is that. Thank you Donors choose, for being a creative way for classrooms to get the supplies they need. This has definitely given me hope for the future of education.
