If they have no notes from Doctors then fire them.
public workers?............
Fire them.
Period.
This is a looooooong way away from Madison...
So much for the kids!
Put them up on a Flickr feed or some other public website, and email the URL to every school administrator in the state.
Invite them to look through the pictures and see if they recognize anyone that called in "sick".
Fire the lot. These people do care about “the children”
What a joke.
I watched the news last night and one reporter interviewed a teacher. She said, “I work very hard for my students and they know that I do”. I wanted to throw the remote at the television.
These kids and their parents are getting the best education they’ve had in 12 yrs.
Pray for America
This day should be interesting. Wisconsin GOP needs to hang tough. Organizing for America (Obama’s campaign pac) is organizing lots of out of state people to be bussed in to help protest in Madison today. Disgusting.
This is a battleground for the entire country. IF state of Wisconsin says they will NOT “collect” union dues for the unions out of the paychecks, then the unions lose out because many teachers / public employees may not WANT to pay the union dues. Gee - freedom of right to work on your own terms. What a concept. Unions / Obama / Democrats all one in the same will not let this stand, so they MUST make this Wisconsin issue a national issue. Very dangerous situation, IMHO.
Also, do you want those screaming, yelling, protesting teachers anywhere NEAR your kids when and if they ever return to the classroom? Imagine the vile they will spew on your children. Also disgusting. For the children... phhhhttt.
Nice 4-day weekend off.
Milwaukee has 82,000 schoolkids and 5,400 teachers. That works out to 15.18 kids per teacher.
Florida class sizes cannot exceed the following:
Elementary 18 kids per teacher
Middle School 22 kids per teacher
High School 25 kids per teacher.
It appears that not only are the Milwaukee teacher salary and benefits bloated, it also seems they are very underworked.
Surprise—surprise
The gov needs to send out truant officer to round up their asses and get them to school.
Sooner or later, we’ll use the two word solution that always works:
“You’re fired”.
Teachers - as a group - can be replaced by anyone possessing a good 12th grade education ——— of 40 years ago.
A modern degree in “education” is worth about as much as the word of our idiot president.
How will this effect kids applying to college?
Don’t schools have to run a specific number of days each year?
I know the teachers don’t care, but if I was a student or a parent in Wisconsin, I’d be mad as heck right now!
Layoffs may not be necessary after the firings take place.
This whole Wisconsin mess may just be the first big “battle” of the culture war. How will Joe and Jane public see this? Will they see the union fascists for what they are, or will they be too self-absorbed and wonder why they’re being inconvenienced with having to find child care?
If they weren’t sick, fire them all.
