Rarely, but you should know what is expected of you and what to expect of an employer before taking a job
And I would be the worlds worst salesman, it would go like this, "there are some widgets, if you want them buy them, if not I don't really care"

Agreed on the broken system and not paying any more into it, but do you have a better solution?
Just a question to you, will you get a pay raise next year or not and will it be more than the $200 I will get which will be spent on student needs like mine will?
I got a question for you, as a taxpayer if i send my kids to a private school, or home school, should i be given a tax break since i am not using government resources to educate my kids and am paying for their education entirely out of my pocket?

Originally posted by eradicator View PostNobody is arguing that. The point is they deserve a raise because the requirements, responsibilities, circumstances, etc have changed since they signed up. This isn't hard to comprehend.

Originally posted by RJH1 View PostI %100 do, and if it was not for the threat of jail, i would pay a % based on infrastructure and that is about it. But, that jail stuff.... haha
We can go on and on. I'm agreeing to disagree at this point and hoping some folks can prioritize what's important.

I hear people complain all the time about raising taxes...but a lot of those same people will vote for a bond election to build a 60 to 100 million football stadium. I love all high school sports, but I just don’t see the need to build these kind of facilities. My wife is a teacher, she doesn’t complain about her pay, she complains more about the state taking teachers ability to teach away, because they want you to teach to the star test, which is a crock of bullturds.

You make it sound so simple to change careers. I have done it 4 times in my 65 years and it was not easy and in some situations not profitable in the long run. You seem to know how easy it is to change careers so let us in on your secret.

Originally posted by eradicator View PostAnd once again, is that what you want for our youth/future?
What i would like for our youth, is for their parents take responsibility for them. As it stands now many parents seem to think the school system is there to raise their kids, and the school system seems to have decided to try to take on that role, apparently willing and not begrudgingly. That is a huge part of the problem with schools, they are not parents, but by trying to play that role we have gotten where we are now. I really do not want to perpetuate this system, as i think it is quite possibly the worst thing we can do for the youth/future. Not necessarily the teacher's fault (possibly not at all the teachers fault), but it is the system we would be supporting by putting more money into it.
But anyway, i am sure a raise will get voted in, cause "its for the children" always works, even when the children are actually getting screwed in the long run.
Have a good one
