Regarding the "powerful high-school boys who stubbornly refused to work", maybe they shouldn't be there.
“A bill before congress”...yeah, that’ll fix it....
Yes, unionize substitutes, spend more tax dollars, hell, just enslave the private sector a little more, that will fix everything!
I got a good laugh out of that too.
My message to teachers: Take more days off! I'm always glad to "teach the children well."
Take away their sick days and give them just so many vacation days they must use when these teachers are sick too. That put an end to this crap at my wife’s company.
Public education is one of the anti-social, revenue-sucking plagues pushed by early feminists like Susan B. Anthony. We’ll have the opportunity for new leadership and smaller government after the defaults.
“My message to teachers: Take more days off! I’m always glad to “teach the children well.””
Excellent!
Training the subs? Subs are already trained as teachers and are qualified to step into the classroom, right? We don’t need another way to support the NEA.
that’s right- this is another whining liberal
Liberals send their children to public school.
Do you mind my asking what substitute compensation is nowadays?
I am a teacher. So far this year I had to take one day off when I pulled a muscle and literally could not breathe or lift my arm. Last year, the only day I took off was to attend the April 15 tea party-and I let my students know EXACTLY what I was doing and why. I don’t see the need to take off for frivolous things when we have THREE months in the summer to do it. I also know each of my students very well because I don’t miss school.
I suppose the Times will never abandon its vision of teachers as an underpaid and overworked group of heros and uber liberals. Phooey.
How about we introduce a bill in Congress that eliminates tenure, mandates an objective measure of results, and introduces the revolutionary concept that if we’re going to pay a year’s salary, we expect a year’s work.
If you are interested, math and science teachers, like myself, are in high demand
WRONG! In some states, such as MO, subs are only required to have a degree. Any degree. In any field. And be cleared by the FBI to be safe with children.
LMFAO! You really think... LOL!
Substitute teachers, in the state of Florida anyway, only have to have completed 60 credit hours of post-secondary education in order to be put on the substitute teaching roster. That's the equivalent of an Associates degree. Most of the teachers I know received their degrees in Education, and yet most of them couldn't educate their way out of a paper bag. Substitute teachers are the dregs of educational socialism.
As state budgets are busting all over the country, the proletariat would be wise to ping their state Congresscritters for a moratorium on rate increases for teachers until the NEA is investigated for malfeasance in the educational dumbing-down of America.
Thx!
Agreed.
