NEA Teacher Union says call Congress, May 8, with NO TAX CUT message

[NetValue]

"They are cutting positions all right...janitors, teachers, paras etc. Is there one administrators position cut? No way."

If you cut the worthless administrative bureaucracy you would have enough money to run a whole separate school system operated on vouchers. It's not a question of more money, but how they are wasting what we give them already!

Where are the teachers making $60K a year with all that time off and excellent pension at 55? Maybe I can convince my fiance to move. She is a year-round, parochial pre-school director making $50K, pretax, after 19 years there and she isn't going to get anywhere near $39K if she retired at 55. I want to get her out of California anyway...maybe this will be an incentive.

Gosh! Teachers must be really overpaid if they don't need a tax cut!

You caught that too?
Now we can tell them they don't need a pay raise next time they whine about how their pay is too low.
