Editor: I was informed that my county's Board of Education is having to consider new hours for schools due to budget cuts.While I understand that there is only so much money to be shared among hundreds of recipients, I do not understand why it is always the children who have to suffer when our shortcomings are passed around. Georgia schools already rank at the lowest in the nation, so how can this current slap in the face help to raise our national ranking? It seems that the children never matter when it comes to problems with this country and state.
