And how much are these C teachers worth in a free job market?”

Not worth a teaspoon of Labrador dog drool.

Well, $1 million to be a corporate banker?

Is that too much, or too little.

I suppose your response might well differ based on your religion and politics, as well as the banker's religion and politics.

It's still class envy and class warfare.

When the US median salary is $35,000 or so with benefits maybe adding another $5,000 to $10,000 to that number, why is it wrong to point out how many teachers and administrators in the school system cost the state more than $90,000 each?

As the young sargeant said in “Platoon” when he found a cache of Viet Cong documents in a box in the jungle: “this is important stuff”..

Those that can, DO

Those that can’t, TEACH.


And those that can do neither TEACH TEACHERS

So you don’t think that corporations negotiate their tax breaks through a series of corrupt negotiaons and relations with politicians?

Seriously?

Hey, get some perspective here. PEOPLE WITH JOBS make more than the unemployed.

Do you really expect them to care whether it's the teachers robbing the system or the other employed, be they bankers or store clerks, doing the same?

Let's talk about how EVERYBODY can get a job ~ we have at least 19% functional unemployed/underemployed and that is a real problem. This quibbling around the margins is DOG DOO DOO.

Don’t forget. If any of these teachers are married to other WI teachers OR someone who makes that salary, they are “the wealthiest Americans” obambam always talks about. Time to start sacrificing

BTW, your theory sounds good but in practice that's not at all how things work in any sort of government employment.

The problem is the supervisors (who are going to control the evaluations) have been selected because they schmooze well ~ that's what politicians do a lot of ~ schmooze ~ and they like to have that wall of supervisors well versed in that particular methodology.

You cannot, as a rule, trust government supervisor evaluations of anyone!

Find a substitute.

What are you talking about? I’m talking about the public sector union employees. They don’t work for corporations.

But why stop there?! You were actually commenting on how special interest groups negotiate sweetheart deals via corruption of politicians. And shouldn’t that really be the heart of the matter and isn’t that really the root cause of what’s bankrupting our nation.

Actually their work year is 185 days versus 260 for the regular Joe.

At out local public lower school in CA, every Tuesday, the students get out at 12:00 noon. The other days, they get out at 1:45 pm. The school also has a number of "special days", where they get out 12:00 noon also.

We did the math and figured the grades 1-5 students miss out on a full year of schooling during the time at this school...all due to these unbelievable hours. It appears the schools were given the minimum days that they had to teach and decided to make those days shorter.

The intellectual consistency has evaporated for many in this place. It has been replaced with social programming.

>>>Is 1 million dollars too much to pay a corporate banker?<<<

You have the choice of banks. There’s no ‘choice’ in schools unless you are willing to pay at two places

If education allowed choice and vouchers than your question might have validity imo, otherwise it is apples and oranges. .

I guess it’s not anymore or less wrong than when a liberal points to corporate profits and says that we need to end tax breaks for the rich when the nation is suffering.

right? I mean that is your point?

Compensation in a private business is no ones business.

Compensation of public servants is every taxpayers business!

Public servants should be paid at least 20% less than private business employees to compensate for their guarnteed job and benefits.

Actually I didn’t have a choice in whether or not bankers would be allowed to recieve their taxpayer funded multi-million dollar bonuses.

But my area does have charter schools and vouchers.

Oh the irony...

I think they come from OTHER PLACES and just happen to be using FR logons they picked up years and years ago.

Maybe someday JR can do a "GIANT PURGE" and simply dispose of all the logons that haven't had a post in the last 10 years.
