Wisconsin school teacher...

The teachers I know spend their own money to supply students needs.

Thats called a tax write off. Teacher buys condoms and 30 copys of a book called "My Two Daddys" They're teaching our children that being gay is great and the tax payer have to pay for it.

you are either a troll or need to come out the closet... repressing those feelings is not good
 
Right wingers hate teachers. They should close the schools in Red States or make them Bible Study groups. Something the country could really use.

Right wingers hate school teachers because they want our kids to think that it's ok to be gay, stoned and on welfare while protesting a nativity scene placed in public view. Everything that is right and moral in society school teachers want to teach our kids that it's wrong and that killing unborn baby and that taking money from working people and giving it to the mothers of inner city gang bangers so they can have more babys is ok.

Hi Emma.
 
I saw one of those Wisconsin school teachers that was demonstrating in the State Capital building on the tv news. She said she wanted what was best of the children. If that's true, why isn't she at school teaching instead of showing us all just how much more she is interested in herself than in her profession?

The Egyptian revolutionaries weren't at work either. Sometimes you just have to take a stand.

Are you trying to say they have no right to stand in solidarity with their working peers because they should be at work instead?

This governor needs to be off work.. Forever.

It seems to me that these teachers don't give a crap about the students. They only care about what they believe is entitled to them. It's always about the money, eh? No wonder Obama sends his kids to private schools.

It seems to me that these banking CEO's don't give a crap about the American people. They only care about there bonuses that they believe are entitled to them. It's only about money eh?

Class warfare anyone?
 
No. Here in good ol' broke Californy.



What is the average income of public school teachers in California and what is the value of their benefit packages? Pension packages? How many days per year do they actually work?

I seem to recall that in school, I took a whole lot of days off for every holiday that's written on the calendar, long weekends for Thanksgiving and Easter, a week or two off for Christmas and, of course, Summer vacation.

In the real world, vacation is more limited, benefits are more limited and pensions are a thing of the past.

In light of all this, how have the test scores of students in the California system fared vs the test scores of their counterparts in the other industrialized nations over the last 40 years? Against those scores of the Parochial students in California over the same period.

What is the cost to educate one student in California Public Schools compared to the rest of the Industrialized World and to the California Parochial School students?

This is not simply a discussion of income for teachers. It's a cost benefit ratio and there needs to be some kind of review of the outcomes, not just the injustice of making these folks work for a living.

This is a tad removed from reality. Of course they have a right to stand with their peers and should have done so on a day off from school and, when they are scheduled to be at work, should be there.

This is not complicated stuff. It's pretty basic. They are paid to perform a function which they are doing with constantly decreasing effectiveness compared to their "peers" who are working in other countries. Also compared too their "peers" who are working for less in Private Schools.

By participating in an illegal strike and ignoring their responsibilities and getting paid, they are teaching our children the wrong lessons. Again.

If they are capable of shame, they should be ashamed.
 
The continuous anti-intellectual theme of this board's self-proclaiming conservatives is fairly obvious.

They hate teacher, teachers unions, think that schools are a waste of time, don't believe in science, and they want a bronze age cosmology taught as science, too.

But hey they love children and families, right?

What rot.

The continuous anti-critical thinking theme of this board's self-proclaiming liberals is fairly obvious too.

They lie about conservatives 'hating' teachers, they lie about our attitude towards education, they lie about our respect for science, they lie about us wanting religion taught in schools, they lie about our 'hatred' of minorities, they lie about our lack of education, they lie about our attitude towards abortion, they lie, they lie, they lie.

But hey, they love spending our money.

What total bullshit.

See, works both ways.

The "sick-out" is illegal. Is that what she wants to teach her kids?

Sometimes reality just has to become a part of the conversation. The average per cap income of people living in Wisconsin, most of whom have been educated by the noble teachers of the public education system, is $36,822 and droppping.

It is from this pool that the taxes will be drawn to provide the income of the teachers that is about 42% higher than the average and rising. Throw in the generous time off for vacations and the plumb benefits and pensions and the difference balloons moreso.

In the face of a recession that is literally putting families on the street, the greed and averice of the Union mentality teachers who will gladly abandon their assigned duties to increase the weight on the shoulders of their neighbors is shameful.

Add to this mix that as recently as 20 years ago, the USA ranked first in many categories of education and now hardly cracks the top 10 in any category and languishes in the 20's and 30's in most meaningful acedemic measures.

We can be consoled by the loyalty of the tenured teachers to the union.


Wisconsin Teaching Salaries | How Much Do Wisconsin Teachers Make?

People often believe that teachers don't make a lot of money. Those in the know, though, are aware that compensation in the education industry can be quite generous, especially when you factor in the great vacation schedule and the comprehensive benefits packages that usually go along with teaching. In Wisconsin, teaching salaries averaged $52,644 in 2009-10, according to the National Education Association, with most school districts offering benefits that range from health insurance to retirement plans.

In part due to the fact that the more the unions suck out of the districts budgets with unsustainable benefits, the less money goes into the classrooms. And that's a fact. A big part of why the districts don't have the money is a direct result of the unions. That too is a fact. Enough is enough.

Those teachers in Wisconsin pull in between 45-75 g's a year with excellent benefit and pension plans. They can definitely afford the concessions the governor is asking for. No doubt about it.......It's time these people come in line with the private sector who are having to also dig a lil' deeper into their pockets these days......There is NOTHING special about those union employees whatsoever. They are just the same as everybody else who work just as hard in the private sector. It's time they start realizing it.
 
it appears to me that unions, teachers Unions, bus drivers whomever seem to think its perfectly alright for their next door neighbor to take it in the neck and get laid off BUT, they somehow deserve to dance between the raindrops, going so far as to protest that the very people who help pay their salaries don't have the plans they do AND in the end don't have near the job security they do, and are not even willing to put up 12% of their medical plan premium costs.....unreal.

And obama, OUR president, has absolutely no place from which to make a valid judgment on this issue it appears, since he hasn't, so he takes the side hes familiar with and is a creature of, as he himself was a beneficiary of public largess, it never occurs to the most powerful intellect to ever reside in the WH, that hey, maybe those other folks have a point....no, hes to smart to think outside his box.

But one must appreciate his attempt to derail the thread. That's some good trolling right there.
 
Funny thing is, one teacher was on the news spewing that, "TAX THE RICH" bs. When asked about it she said, "TAX THE TOP 3%" so the state has money on the rolls to collectivelly bargain with us.

Does she not realize where she lives?

IT'S WISCONSIN FOR CHRIST SAKES!.......How many 3%ers live in WISCONSIN?

Stupid wench.

If she is any example of the qualty of teachers in Wisconsin, I feel truly sorry for the students and parents. That teacher is the prime example as to the problems our public shools face by having dimwits like her protected by the unions.
 
Right wingers hate teachers. They should close the schools in Red States or make them Bible Study groups. Something the country could really use.

Yeah, and change all of the schools in Blue states into indoctrination camps. Throw the kids in there and murder all of their parents while they're going through training.

Well, they have the Packers.
 
If all these teachers are sooooo good why is it American kids rank so low in Math,Science and Reading.
The money spent now should be enough to get most of the kids to at least pass the basic skills and just be able to graduate.Are the teachers not any good or are the parents not paying enough attention to what their kids are up to.

Yeah, remember the following lil' gem from a PUBLIC school class of first graders?:

MMM, MMM, MMM, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!

DISGUSTING!,..........and wrong on so many levels.
