CNN PRODUCER NOTE     LearnIt is a teacher in Ohio, and she says for months she has seen a loss of morale amongst her colleagues. Forced spending cuts for her means more budget cuts directly impacting the classroom. She says her kindergarten class has already doubled in size because of previous spending cuts, and last year she spent more than one thousand dollars on school supplies for her students, not including the additional clothes and food she purchased for some of her students who are facing financial hardships. She says one of her biggest fears besides being replaced by a younger teacher who is willing to work for less is the affects forced spending cuts will have on schools and children, 'and the crucial support needed for my students to not only survive, but thrive,' she said.
