Christie to teacher: You can quit

Politico ^

[kevao]

I can tolerate a RINO much better from a state like Mass

Yeah, well that RINO from Mass was the 60th vote that made possible Senate passage of that financial reform monstrosity.

New Jersey GOP Gov. Chris Christie told a disgruntled teacher that if she doesn’t like the pay, she doesn’t “have to do it.”

Hoo-rah!!!

[BattleHymn]

I'm way ahead of you on that one.

[Reeses]

correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the teacher claiming she works 27,667 hours per year ($83K/3 per hour)...

No, she's claiming $3/hour times 30 students equals $90/hour, which is a lot of moola for a government servant. She's not counting her 3 month vacation or knocking off work at 3pm.

[Sub-Driver]

funny you mention Bryn Mawr College - not many would know about that lib bastion.......Only kids of rich mainliners....

[Vigilanteman]

I get a kick out of her math. If she earned $3 per hour, she would have to work 27,667 hours in a year to knock down an annual salary of $83K. That works out to 532 hours per week, when there are only 168 hours per week.

I'm sure she thinks she deserves at least $3 per hour per student, which would work out to a 23 hour week for the 40 weeks or so which she works per year.

It is kind of like a million dollar a year mediocre major league baseball player saying he really less than $0.14 per hour: one million divided by 162 games x 3 hours times an average paid attendance of 15,000 fans.

Not that I am aware of. I know his response to the obamacare passage was to have his attorney general look into NJ filing a suit but so far nothing has transpired.

Compared to that neo-marxist Corzine, or any other governor NJ has had in my lifetime Christie is a breathe of fresh air in THIS state. National speaking, we can and must do better.

Chicago teachers work 2.4 hours per school day by contract and get relatively good money.

Probably much the same deal here.

$86,000/90 per hour/180 teaching days = 5.30 hours per day teaching.

Not a bad gig.

Yeah, well that RINO from Mass was the 60th vote that made possible Senate passage of that financial reform monstrosity.

I disagree. I count about 20 Dim Senators from conservative-leaning states. They made this monstrosity possible.

[FTJM]

It’s amazing that what he is doing is considered unique. It should be commonplace.

[OriginalChristian]

Why don’t we employ some name economy here and just rename him to Chris Tingle on FR? I mean, everyone will know to whom we are referring. Just a thought...

[albie]

“You can quit”. Precisely what I’ve said to an employee or two. Good man!

[RightAgain]

Good find! Look at those salaries. What in the heck are those teachers complaining about?

[lakeman]

good one!!

[Catsrus]

I’m sure she’s a lib, so, lying is their first and second nature.

[Minus_The_Bear]

Chris Christie has already shown more balls in 5 months than Bush did in 8 years.

Bush is why we have Obama.

[keats5]

Yep, that took me aback too, when I realized she was talking about being paid a separate hourly rate for each child, even though she is not offering individualized instruction.

Every worker can play that game.
