For the same reason, Pittsburgh Public Schools pay elementary music teachers +$80,000 for 9 months of employment.

Perhaps their teachers are uglier than anywhere else? Give them a break.
We’re paying for all kinds of nonsense worldwide anyway.

In Wisconsin, the teacher’s union arranged to have the taxpayers buy health insurance for the teachers from an insurance company owned by the union.
At $25,000 per year per employee.
About a year ago, that particular scam ended, and now teacher health insurance is put up for competitive bid.
The company owned by the teacher’s union offered to cut the premiums by about 50% in order to keep the contract.

Because the voters do not have the courage to make a change. They bought off on this crap that teachers are poor victims chained to their desks for 181 days a year...
They have to rehab after plastic surgery during their summer 3 month vacation. Perhaps their union should fight for them to rehab during school and just hire subs...

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself) The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
The corruption in Erie County and City of Buffalo politics is legendary. Buffalo has so much potential and it's been ruined by decades of incompetence.

A neighboring town paid more than that for a kindergarten teacher; she was about 45 years old (imagine what that tab will be when she’s 65), and kindergarten isn’t even required by the state of NJ. Nobody can understand Governor Christie without first looking at the environment in which he was elected. The Asbury Park Press released salaries of NJ public school teachers, and they’ve lost the hearts & minds of the voters. All this nonsense about “underpaid teachers” (progagated by their party’s media) are ridiculous; they are the upper middle class in NJ.
The taxes they inflict have driven many Americans, and the companies they work for, out of the state; soon the gubmint workers will have illegal aliens and the permanent underclass as their only clientele.
Buffalo is a lot like Newark, NJ - much of the morning “rush hour” is school buses.

This in a city where the average teacher makes roughly $52,000 a year. The plastic surgery tab would pay salaries for 100 extra educators. Holy (bleep)!
