EDUCATION CUTS AS SEEN BY 10 YR OLD
E-MAIL SENT TO PROTEST RALLY ORGINZERS AT RUTGERS BY PRACHI
I am a 5th Grade student. My school is going to cut Music Instrument classes, Singing Lessons, Language classes, Art & craft classes. I have heard adults calling them luxury and they need to be cut to save money. I am completely lost how can you call extra skills for a student to be luxury? May be I want to be an artist when I grow up. How can our adults be so cruel that they do not want us to learn things to be an artist? I will be joining my elder brothers & sisters to tell our adults we deserve the best education and best facilities. PRACHI MAKKAR
Conversation she had with her Father after sending the above e-mail
“Papa is it luxury to learn Music Instruments, Art and Craft at School? I asked her why she is asking this question. Her reply was, “She has heard at her school these classes will be cut to save money, it is very unfair they are very mean they want to make the school a boring place and they do not want us to be an artist or learn any extra skills.” Further she added, “Papa can you take me to the student rally at Trenton tomorrow to protest against mean cuts?” I agreed to her request and next day on 4-27-06 we joined the students at Newark Rutgers and traveled in their Bus to Trenton to protest against the proposed anti middle class & minorities cuts in education programmes by corrupt, insane and inhuman Governor Corzine of NJ.

“DEH SHIVA BAR MOHEY SHUBH KARMAN TEY KAB HO NA TARU. NA DARU(N) JAB JAYE LARO, NISHEY KAR APANI JEET KARO. BOLLEY SO NIHAL SAT SRI AKAAL.”
