Two teachrs married to eacher other make for a pretty wealthy family
How about a photo of some of their residences? I am sure it would be very telling...
Wow class warfare and envy of the rich on FR. It must be bizarro day.
I guess contracts are only important when they’re intended to give taxpayer money to wall st as bonuses...
Also, note that $90k is probably pay for working only ten months a year. Annualized, $90k for 10 months is equivalent to $108,000 a year.
I’m posting this in a couple threads. Ask your consideration.
We really need help in Wisconsin to make sure these needed reforms go through. Every little bit helps.
If any Freepers from out-state have a few minutes on their hands today, perhaps they can read the up to date stories from our major newspaper and then post supporting notes in the “comments” section of each story. The unions seem to have their posters in there 24/7.
Here is a link to the front page of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
This is the real coming civil war - between public sector employees and taxpayers. I posted the following a few months ago:
“The next civil war.
You are a 60 year old private sector worker, or business owner. It’s snowing, and you are outside, at 6AM, clearing your driveway, so that you can get to work when the public sector union employee gets around to plowing your street, so that you can re-clear your driveway after he has plowed the snow back into the entrance. If you don’t get to work, you don’t make a living.
Your neighbor, a 55 year old retired public sector employee is not clearing his driveway. He and his retired public sector employee wife are in Florida (or Arizona) for the winter.
You finally get to work, and later, you slip and slide home. In your mailbox is a postcard from your retired public sector employee neighbors in Florida (or Arizona) sending greetings from the sunbelt.
The civil war starts when you throw an ice ball through their front window.”
Making predictions is very difficult, especially about the future, and the spark that I envisioned hasn’t happened yet, but the civil war is on, and it’s far from civil.
How are we grading Teachers in the US? We are constantly bombarded with stories placing US students’ scores in the in the mid to low ranges in global rankings. The answer always is: we need to spend more money on education. So how do we grade these teachers cranking out indifferent graduates that can’t find a job much less start an enterprise. And how much are these C teachers worth in a free job market?
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
For 35 years the same drum beat has been played:
Teachers are so underpaid, teachers are so unappreciated, teachers have it so hard.
Because it is (was) such a honered profession, and was held in high esteem, once their initial demands (which were legit at the time) and complaints were recognized, and an attempt made to ‘solve’ the problem, it became set in concrete. Every year it’s the same sh*t until we have what we have now.
In the meantime? Well the U.S.A. is number one at being able to use condoms appropriately, homosexual sex can be described in graphic detail by any 8 year old (and probably younger), the extinction of the polar bear is foremost on the youth’s minds, and abortion, well ask any grade school, jr. high kid and they’ll tell you, everyone has the right to kill their child.
Yes, we’ve managed to create a hideous collective monster by trying to reward our teachers. And look how we have been, and are being, repayed: we have teachers that bed their students. They have, and continue to, indoctrinate the kids with communist, marxist, anti capitalist philosphies; all the while screaming “we want more!”.
And like clockwork, every year, property taxes continue to skyrocket, as well as the sales taxes in various communities. It’s never enough and it will never be enough.
It’s best this comes to a ‘head’ right now and if that means someone gets hurt, so be it.
/rant off only temporarily
I realize that teaching can be a stressful job, but it is not as stressful or dangerous as other public service sector jobs.
I sure hope that Police Officers and Firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians get at least that much.
If not he police and firefighter and emergency medical services unions better start screaming.
Further, I think it's also fair that these 'educators' have access to our children to educate them that Christopher Columbus (a white man) committed genocide on brown people, that blacks [primarily in February, mind you] are responsible for EVERY scientific, medical and artistic advance ever seen, and that Government is the answer to all their problems. It is just the damned Conservatives and Republicans who want to keep them down...
