The legislature in TN is making major changes and they will follow through. WE have the house, senate and executive. The BS of free is getting trimmed to those that need it.
I think you made a great choice. It should be the choice of the parents.
“Care about educators like they care for your child”... by walking out on them.”
That is an awesome and very rational caption.
LOL You are right! I’m sure DCFS would love it if I told my kids ‘I care for you so much I’m walking out on you.’
And people wonder why my husband and I sacrifice to put our kids in anything but a public school?
With all due respect - what are you stupid? The news media is ALL about propaganda. They don’t want to get it right. It is propaganda.
TV - ALL of it now is about pro-Obama propaganda. They are not getting it wrong - they are brainwashing idiots who watch TV.
Government and teachers unions, who survive solely on the public trough, should be illegal.
With all due respect: You can be an arrogant ass at times.
Care for Educators Like They Care for Your Child (...by going on strike.)
Sorry but the majority of teachers these days are overpaid unionist first that only indoctrinate and not teach.
To hell with them.
And before attacking me for generalization, I’m talking publc teachers. If you are a good public school teacher, find a private sector teaching job.
When they say they are working hard and cannot “afford” to pay into SOME of their own benefits they are LYING!
It’s not a “funding crisis”; it’s a spending crisis. The unionistas have overcharged for their services so flagrantly that if they were executives in a productive-sector business, they’d be in prison for fraud and liberals would be calling for their summary execution.
The question isn’t where the funding is coming from, but how to reduce the amount of the theft.
Let us remember that their hearts mean nothing because THEY ARE THE ONES WHO SOLD AMERICA TO CHINA BY VOTING FOR ZEROBAMA AND AGAINST THE WAR AND A STRONG MILITARY. Their jobs will simply go to CHina or India as designed by the very ones who paid them to vote for their manchurian benefactor who now stabs them in the back.
I say let the schools be taught electronicaly through the internet and fire all these idiots.
Freerepublic is all they need to keep kids self taught and behaving at home, and that is the salient point of this story.
This is the DINOSAURE media and Public School watch. It needs to happen... Change indeed, ah ah ah ah.
Yeah, they’re so “Caring” their mostly tax-free benefits almost equals their salaries. And yet they continue to turn out an inferior product. The public schools are a disgrace yet these “caring” types just keep on demanding from a taxpaying public weary of the same ol song with same ol tired results.
Fire the ones who called in sick and showed up at rallies. Put a lid on compensation and benefits and make it damn impossible to raise it.
The English refer to “state schools,””Public schools, being of course elite private schools. Congressmen do not send their kids to state schools, but to private schools.
Huh? I thought the controversy in WI was about public employees paying a small part of their health insurance premiums and retirement contributions and how future contracts will be negotiated.
This isn’t about funding public education, unless of course CNN is actually admitting that when the rats demand more money for education, they’re really just talking about forking over more to the teacher’s union which they then take a cut of, which then ends up in rat coffers.
Yay! I’ll vote for that! Education will not improve until government is out of it completely. If government had been in charge of transportation for the last 100 years, we would still be riding horses.
Exactly right. I would love to see the indoctrination centers close for good.
I'd like to hear the Repubs bring this up- How much better private schools are versus public. How much are public school teachers paid? How much for private school teachers? What kind of benefits do public school teachers get-dollar amounts, pensions, exc.. vs. private school instructors? What are the dollar amounts in the budget?
The Pubs need to give details and remind people of how much these people already get. And there's no money.
I didn't know they were paid so well. I've always heard about "the poor underpaid-overworked teachers".
Ha-go figure.
It’s really amazing just how much is spent per pupil. 14K per student in CA or DC, I forget which. You could have a private tutor for each kid, limo service to/from school, gourmet lunches for each student, and still have about 10K/student left over for “expenses”.
The public educational system in the USA has become a cesspool of inferiority and political indoctrination since the days of easy money under the G.I. bill along with vastly expanded social programs which were designed to change the historical landscape of this Nation. The system needs to get back on track to making and keeping this an exceptional Nation. Looking at the interests of the young people today,i.e. games-electronic and sports, the teaching of our history is lacking. Perhaps the 4th of July will bring out more than just fire crackers and music.
