Morning FRiends! Sorry I haven’t posted for awhile. I’ve been sick for the last week and sleeping in. Feeling mostly better. Meanwhile, invaders have, apparently, reached the southern border.
Good morning sneakers...get well and STAY well. I’m hoping our Donald turns the army loose down on the border. Cold and very wet, turning to sleet and snow later, here in the mountains of WNC.
Thanks ryderann. Yes, I hope he does!
Listening to Quinn: Some guy going on about teachers not being paid enough. Obviously the guy doesn’t live in Pennsylvania! We are paying school/property taxes to fund the teachers huge pensions! Teachers around here are doing very well!
My daughter is a VERY talented and capable teacher (graduated Magna Cum Laude and then got her Masters Degree). She is teaching in a charter school for very modest wages because the hiring practices of Pennsylvania school districts are inherently and unendingly corrupt.
She had interviews with 25 districts last Summer, and didn’t get hired by any of them. The job invariably goes to someone with political pull in the Democrat Party or a relative of a school board member.
It’s a huge political patronage scam. I wouldn’t mind paying teachers a good salary if they were competent and worked hard.
God bless your daughter. It’s too bad the public schools she applied to passed her over. Sounds like the charter school is getting a very good teacher for bargain money! A good teacher should get a good salary, but I have a problem when a certain group of people (that would be property owners) is the one shouldering the burden for salaries, pensions, new football fields, etc. It benefits everyone when the schools are well funded. Everybody should contribute. 10,000 more people in Pa will lose their homes next year because they can’t afford the school/property taxes. There is a better way - it’s called Pa House Bill/Senate Bill 76.
