"When the teacher’s union should be an advocate for a teacher - they aren’t"

No, as we heard this week from Michigan, they are just too busy defending teachers who come to school drunk or on drugs.

Apparently you get five, yes FIVE chances to come to school drunk before they "get serious" and fire you. You are allowed to come to school high on two occasions.

Hardasses!

The unions are I'm sure working on how many kids you can molest before going on paid administrative leave.

Imagine ANYONE in the private sector getting away with any of that $hit.

Yet teacher unions come down like a ton of bricks when a teacher expresses an unapproved opinion.

Not even racist per se.

Let me repeat.

1500 employees

1150 Certified to TEACH CLASSES!

350 bus drivers, lunch workers, janitors, teachers aides, receptionists, etc

IOW, they have about 20% more support staff than teachers actually in the classroom. The rest of the CERTIFIED TO TEACH are either at the central office or are administration.

Facebook is actually the Telescreen that George Orwell spoke of in “1984.”

What could possibly be more “gay” than tweeting on twitter?

OK.

You gotta admit, 16 pupils per active teacher is pretty nice. Yet from their own information there are about 1150 certified teachers employed in the system, of which, by your info (which really sounds about right) only 40 % are actually teaching.

So it requires 468 teachers to do the work equivalent of 300!

That means 60% of those certified are not teaching; put another way each teacher doing the deed has 1.5 teachers in administrative roles. Somehow, that doesn’t make me feel much better.

Way too many chiefs for even this overpopulation of braves! I think one more school is in the system, which is the Alternative school operating right behind Eighth Street Middle School.

Thanks for the info.

Some of total number has to do with staff having to document compliance with state and federal regulations.

That post was racist:

What about the thugs that beat the father in his vehicle because he didn’t slow down? What about the thugs that shot the college baseball player because they were bored?

Opposing violence is racist these days.

If the dude hadn’t have stolen, he would be alive.

Theft is cultural in certain communities, so objecting is racist, whether or not the thieves are minorities.

I think signs should read, take the hood off your head and pull up your dang pants and quit impregnating everybody.

Objecting to thugs dressing and acting like losers is racist.

I’m tired of paying for these sorry [expletive] thugs. I would much rather my hard earned money, that the government takes, go to people who need it, such as abusive adults with children. Not to mention the animals that they beat and fight too. That’s all I’m saying.”

She's even against wasting our tax dollars. It doesn't get more racist than that.

Think twice before speaking, three times before emailing, and four times before posting. Words to live by.

I understand about not wanting to have a social media account, however, the current thinking in HR is if you do not have a social media account, you have something to hide. You are a psychopath. You are not politically reliable.
HR has gone far beyond managing payroll, benefits, etc. They are the new zampolits, political officers.

Folks, consider yourselves lucky !

Here in Houston we have THREE non-teaching HISD employees for every real classroom teacher.

I could care less whether they’re “certified”, or what “educational support role” they purportedly fill, the fact is they’re f’n PARASITES who obstruct actual education. They’re generally paid 2X to 4X the salary of a real classroom teacher - and don’t deliver 1/20th of the value, if not actually being COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.

Reform education ? Start by firing ALL the administrators and 90% of any other non-teaching staff.

Heh, I remember Rush talking about this roughly 20 years ago.

He said the main problem is the administration in public schools.

A bunch of lackeys who have absolutely nothing to do with "educating".

Just highly unionized unaccountable paper pushers.

His solution?

I'd go through every school building and point at people.

You! What do you do?

If it has nothing to do with actual teaching or maintaining the school, you're fired.
