Times Are Tough

  
It's no surprise that times are tough for teachers right now. Budget cuts are being made left and right, and you hear stories in the news all the time about cities laying off mass amounts of teachers. But what about the rural areas? How are teachers doing in the less than newsworthy parts of the country?

Well, unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they're faring any better. Of course, you probably won't hear about that in the news. Reporting that a school district has laid of five teachers opposed to hundreds just isn't as impressive sounding. But it's still happening, and these teachers, regardless of where they live, are still feeling the pains of being laid off.
