Thanks for teaching about government budgets
It was enlightening to read Kyra Tessmann's letter of May 26 regarding her government class and what her teacher, Mr. Kuhn, has taught his students regarding government budgeting with a game simulation on iCivics.org called "People's Pie."
Thank you, Mr. Kuhn, for teaching your students something that far too many voting adults don't seem to understand. Teachers like you give us hope for the future, and I only hope you are not in the minority.
Your students should be able to make informed and intelligent decisions when they become voters, and that is something our country needs. Keep doing what you're doing and hopefully more teachers are doing the same.
