I've been teaching for 33 years and I'd have to say that despite cuts etc. it is better than it was when I started here in Texas. I'm also really grateful to have a job that I love.

Re: [MOSAIC] What's hot in California?
In my California district, the intermediate grades have been at 34 for a long time. Californina partially funded class size reduction for K-3 and 9th grade English. My second grade has been maximum of 20 for the last 15 years. But now with the budget deficit, we reduced the staff and increased the primary grades to maximum 32 for next year.
