Why? You angry because you were a failure in school?Colorado Teachers' Union Protest Against DeVos Turns Vulgar
A rally organized by the largest teachers union in Colorado protesting a visit by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos became vulgar as some of the demonstrators held signs depicting a hand giving a middle finger and another sign that said, "Report Card – Betsy DeVos F U."

Bust them up for the sake of the children.
Can I give you some trophy points?Private sector pay sucksIn the private sector. Teachers are on salary but get overtime pay.For a number of years I worked 6 days a week 52 weeks a year. In one month I worked over 400 hours.
On a fixed salary.
People on a fixed salary get screwed big time. edit: Salaried People get no help from The Department of Labor.I grew up in poverty and retired in my 50’s.Private sector pay sucks
Poor teacher whines SHE ONLY GETS FOURTEEN WEEKS OFF A YEAR.California teachers get 5 months off. I had no idea your state overworks teachers by making them work 32 weeks a year, 38.5 hours a week.For a number of years I worked 6 days a week 52 weeks a year. In one month I worked over 400 hours.Show me any worker that works 5 days a week and 52 weeks a year
On a fixed salary.
We know, we know. You're just personally bitter about it.
You know what kills me about all the people who are personally bitter about teachers getting "five months off"? It was NO SECRET. It's not like no one knows about "summers off" and oh SURPRISE!! it's just an unexpected bonus you get when you graduate college. No, you go into it knowing you will get no big raises, no bonuses, no nice "perks" along the way, no trips, no incentives, no huge promotions. But you will get "summers off" and maybe a decent pension and not so much else anymore.
SO cry me a river. You had a tough job and your kids didn't like to be homeschooled so you cried to them about how bad the public schools are. We know, Weatherman. We know.
They do not get paid for that time off, and I would like to see this 5 months you are lying about. There are 196 days in most teacher contracts in my state. That's well over 6 months right there, so we know you are lying! How many months of weekends occur in a year? That would be 3 more months. We're up to 9 months and we haven't even touched the holidays.
Your math sucks and you lie. That is all you have going for you.
I already counted up all the weeks off I get per year, including Christmas, Easter and half weeks for various holidays. It added up to 14 weeks. WM wanted to count federal holidays of course, as if most professional employees don't have those off, plus getting to "leave early" or "come in late" around holidays--teachers rarely if ever get that flexibility.

You've been throttled on this thread. Crawl away in shame
Where is your district? What is the cost of living in your district?Teachers in my district max out at well over 100k a year. In some districts the average pay is over 100k. They were also running a scam of giving them huge raises for their last 3 years, upon which their retirement is based. They pull millions in retirement if they live to average age.
There are teachers that are worth 100k I'm sure, bu there are tens of thousands in Illinois pulling six figure salaries or pensions. For a 9 month a year job, that's ludicrous.
They, and other public sector unions have bankrupted the state.
But "It's all for the children" lol.
Fucking scammers.
Illinois. My high school district is one of the top paying districts in the state and is a very middle class community. For clarity this is the high school I went to, not where I live now.

That's a suburb of Chicago! Middle class my ass! It is a bedroom community with no real industry or real employment. Your schools are lily white with a very few Hispanics sprinkled in and I would wager they are Spanish descendants, rather than from any other country.
The average income in some of the communities I worked is 1/3 of that! Your property values are what pays for your schools and yours is only twice that of the average teacher's salary.
I had one-third of that city's population in my school EVERY DAY!
Your example is by far an outlier.

He is too stupid to realize that has happened. He will start another thread in a few days and repeat the same lies that have been disproven at least ten times. He is a moron of the highest order!
If we paid folks what they were worth they wouldn't need unions.ALL Public Sector Unions should be ILLEGAL as they are a huge conflict of interest. They bargain against the very people that pay them, and whom they are there to serve. The People, the Taxpayer. Then they use those tax dollars to solely support Democrat candidates who give them more lucrative contracts. Rinse and repeat. Total SCAM.

So that explains Union membership is the lowest it's been in over a hundred years..

14 weeks off a year, paid lunch breaks, and can’t get fired if you follow simple rules. And let’s not forget your floating days off. Plus lifetime salary and benefits based upon your last year of pay.Simple math, so easy a public school teacher can do it. Teachers get an entire season of the calendar, every Federal holiday, 2 weeks for Christmas, a week for Easter, plus ‘flex time’, and sick time they can take at anytime.Which ones have 5 months of vacation a year, tenure and lifetime benefits?
Here is where you said five months a year, Weatherman. Is this how you homeschooled your kids--taught them to say something and then run away from it?
Plus teachers don’t have to put in 40 hours a week even.
So you know my calendar better than I do? That's amazing. Really amazing.
You're wrong, of course. My last day this year was June 7th. We go back August 21st. Even including federal holidays--which almost everyone has btw--and 2 weeks at Christmas, and a week at Easter, and two days in Feb and two at Thanksgiving, that's 14 weeks. Not even close to "five months".
My workday is 8-4. So you're wrong there too.
Were you wrong so much when you homeschooled your kids? That's scary.
You make my point. You’re like most teachers- no clue to what goes on in the real world.
You've already been wrong about so many things. Was this your family's accuracy rate when you "homeschooled" your kids?
You're wrong about "paid" lunch breaks. I get 30 minutes. Name me another professional, college-education required job where you get 30 minutes to gobble your lunch. And that "lifetime salary and benefits" is NOT your last year and pay, it's a FRACTION of it. In my state, about half.
Wow, you're wrong about so many things.
