dear moose, pls copy and paste what 27 posted in #60 and send it reply all to the “teacher” and her pals.
I checked around a bit on the internet just now and that e-mail letter has been floating around (at least) from May 2010. (found a topix thread)
Again, I think this is a fabulous idea, change the structure of teachers pay to full commission like a hairdresser (I suppose they can even jockey for tips - since they seek extra-monetary appreciation)
We pay almost $4K in property taxes - most of that money goes to schools - we don’t have any kids.
It’s like forcing a bald man to pay for a haircut (In this glorious pay structure scenario they want us to buy)Let those with kids/hair pay for their education/hair styles.
Those who are inadequate or new as teachers/stylists can hone their crafts at subsidized venues - a la ‘Cost Cutters’
-You get what you pay for... (at least it won’t be a surprise like it is now when kids in 10th grade have a 4th grade reading level)
I hope it catches on! :>)
