Michelle Wu: “Class sizes are way too large and we all know that, but it is not right to pit teacher training against class size…”

“Class sizes are way too large and we all know that, but it is not right to pit teacher training against class size reduction or any other education priority. The reason that we cannot do both class size reduction and teacher quality enhancement, and all of our other education priorities, is because of the trillion dollar tax cuts which have been proposed in this House. If we jettisoned these irresponsible trillion dollar tax cuts, we could do both class size reduction and teacher quality enhancement and all of our other educational priorities. We need to take a more common sense approach to our budget to achieve our education priorities: Reducing class size and enhancing teacher quality. These are all things that can be done if we jettison these irresponsible tax cut proposals.”
