"We need calm in face of storm"

We need calm in face of storm -- an interesting but true statement. Imagine your general panicked when the enemy army attacked and you were in the front defense line on a battle field? Lucky in this case we are looking at a panicked district's chief executive officer. Education budget cut has became one of the most popular topics that local people talk and act about. Who doesn't know the government is going to close some schools and lay off many teachers. Kids have been participate in such activities as found raising and raising awareness of the importance of their schools and teachers. This school budget cut is a serious problem and we should be concerned. However the author of this article does have a very outstanding and valuable point --"The facilities task force that recommended school closures was supposed to be looking at options for the next 10 years — not weeks." The author also pointed out three good reasons to to delay an exigency for a few weeks. Timing, which gives the decision makers some more time to think through the problem, because there might be better solutions; the Legislature, which create some means that might help to keep more teacher employed; and the transparency -- let the public see the plan! 

Government and media tend to exaggerate the emergence of problems either to draw greater attention by scaring people or for higher viewer turn out. Whatever the reason is, it is working! Budget cut issue came out of nowhere in one day and people started to react to it immediately. People panicked for personal reasons. The leader, however, shall not be anywhere near being panicked. It would only create more chaos . Everything has a solution. By giving it a little time will lead to answer. For better or worse, at least we can say that the decision was made with many consideration. After all, this is not a either now or never situation.
