There are stages to this, and the first stages are barely out of school themselves. Besides, way too many ATRs, long-paying-dues members, don't have full careers anymore because these people have been hired in their place.<br />But I do worry that the cuts will affect teachers who've served much longer than a few years. They could hit mid-level careers in the more fragile subjects, like the arts, library, guidance, tech, etc.Eugenenoreply@blogger.com
