But they are so underpaid! And it is unfair to point out that they get the entire summer off! [/s]
Government schools should be ended. All education should be handled through the family or through private businesses which attract customers by providing excellent service at a fair price.
yes and that would include the elimination of NWO curriculum
Firstly, as a Illinois resident I call it fraud. Its absolute theft. Deserving or not deserving the income is no longer an argument. The public unions in Illinois are running debts that can never be paid. And I blame the Tribune and local news as much as anyone. They are always running editorials asking for someone to fix the debt. And then when someone tries, they run editorials about how the government is not doing enough.
What this article leaves out is that the local school systems pay salaries but the state pays the pensions. So a teacher or administrator can get a huge pay increase in the final three years of their work career which sets them up to make more in retirement than they ever made working. And in Illinois these retirements are not taxed by the state. So they can get 6 figure incomes without paying the state any income tax.
In Wisconsin, Scot Walker stopped this kind of thing by forcing the employees to pay a larger share of their salary to the pension. And by stopping the large final year pay increases.
