I feel there is a very fine line with teacher's pay. Too much money, and you get people who are in it just for the money and hours. How about to promote better education, don't tenure teachers, and disband the teacher's unions? I have several friends that I know are intelligent and I feel would make excellent teachers and have a hard time finding jobs. Good teachers tend to work in the area of 10hrs a day. They teach their classes, they write up/create/whatever stuff for the class, and they grade papers while trying to decide how to help each child individually. One of my friends showed me what she goes through to teach inner city kids and I don't know how she does it. Celebrating religion doesn't bother me at all. Just don't force anything on me. Just out of curiosity, what does everyone do when you're invited to dinner and they say grace or something and you're an atheist? I usually bow my head out of respect for them, but don't say amen or anything like that. |

Best example he gave me that shows why I think tenure, unions, etc are dumb for teachers? A student was doing bad. My friend calls parent to try and get a meeting. Shockingly, the parent is a responsible parent (doesn't happen too much in his district) and wanted to come in at 3:30. At this time, my friend was working with another teacher helping "special needs kids". He told the other teacher what happened, and asked if she would stay with him as this was his first parental meeting. The other teachers response? "Fuck that, our contract says we only have to stay here until 3:30." I wonder how much salaries for teachers in FL, etc compare (adjusted for COL) to the rest of the nation? |
It's low. Most of the teachers I know would not be able to get by without their husband's income. It's about the same as working at a fast food joint. Sure, you can live on it, but you're in a crappy apartment eating ramen to get by. The only saving factor is the amount of time you get off for summer and breaks. Not that they aren't working during breaks, but it's a lot less. Even in FL, there are good and bad areas for teachers and education, but generally the classes are too big (like hundreds of kids in a class).
I'm not sure how accurate this is, but it shows how the states rank in their salary comfort level: Teacher Salaries By State | Average Salaries For Teachers | Beginning Salaries For Teachers | Teacher Raises | TeacherPortal.com Edit: After looking at this, it looks like CT has been really poor since I lived there. It was just on the downfall when I was leaving high school, I guess. Still a pretty high average salary. |

dude, how many times have the Mormons visited you in the last few weeks. I've counted 5 encounters.
|
I nearly shot two Mormons one night when they came into my back yard while I was leaning over my engine bay with the engine running and a florescent light blinding me. Next thing I know I turn around and there are two scary motherfuckers standing behind me looking at me. I pretty much told them to get the fuck out of my yard. I nearly shit my pants because I was in deep thought and wasn't expecting to see anybody there IN MY BACK YARD! Like 150ft off the road. I had a pistol in my belt, so they are lucky they didn't get it in their face.

Mormons are awesome, they are the Scientologist of Christianity.
You're wrong about virtues of Christianity And you're wrong if you agree with Sean Hannity If you think that pride is about nationality, you're wrong You're wrong when you imprison people turning tricks And you're wrong about trickle down economics If you think that punk rock doesn't mix with politics, you're wrong You're wrong for hating queers and eating steers If you kill for the thrill of the hunt You're wrong 'bout wearing fur and not hating Ann Coulter Cause she's a cunted ---- You're wrong if you celebrate Columbus Day And You're wrong if you think there will be a Judgement Day If you're a charter member of the NRA, you're wrong You're wrong if you support capital punishment And you're wrong if you don't question your government If you think her reproductive rights are inconsequent, you're wrong You're wrong fighting Jihad, your blind faith in God Your religions are all flawed, You're wrong about drug use, when its not abuse I hope you never reproduce You're getting high on the downlow A victim of Cointelpro You're wrong and will probably never know There's something wrong with the kids in my neighborhood They always listen to music They disregard civil disobedience They'd rather do what they're told They don't drink or fuck off They sit home, and read, expand their minds There's something wrong with the kinds in my cul de sac Their always going to church They dress well and they're Speaking articulate They show each other respect They're never late, don't joke or break rules They eat right, study hard They like school There's something wrong |

I used to play chess with a friend of mine at work (chessknot) and he'd ALWAYS kick my ass. I don't even know why I even bothered to keep playing that game with him.
Same applies here... Man, I love music...and you still always trump me on the lyric wars. Here's my lame counter though. I hate my family, hate my school, speed limits and the golden rule. Hate people who aren't what they seem, more than anything else, American Dream. American Dream's gonna swallow you whole, it's bursting at the seam, It'll sweep you away, so enjoy it today, tomorrow you'll be old thus useless. American Dream... American Dream.... American Dream, that's ok, 'cause no one dare give you away. I hate my job, I hate your god, I hate hypocrites and common slobs. Hate people who aren't what they seem, more than anything else, American Dream. Promise me today I'll have a Chevrolet, with whitewalls on the side, One boy, one girl, comfortable lies The American Dream... American Dream... American Dream, that's ok, 'cause no one dare give you away. American Dream! (bleah!) |
I quote myself from Dr. Graffin
all good soldiers crack like boulders The sun climbs up to a razon, violins, new boots, and numbers on a chain All good soldiers all good soldiers fall in line when they march and shout- are a spectacle marching and singing- will go abnywhere the president says- because the president believes in god- like all good soldiers wait like warheads- When the fighting starts who will be accountable, a cannibal, a cannoball It's six A.M. I can see my breath and the clay dirt is laughing at the weekling boy- today is the day that I'll write my friends its something I've been trying to remenber- I had a dream of a wall that was twenty-one stories tall... All good soldiers fall in line when they march and shout- are a respectable marching and signing- will go anywhere the president says- because the president believes in god- like all good soldiers should I heard them say that the meek shall reign on earth, Phantasmal myriads of sane bucolic birth. I've seen the rapture in a starving baby's eyes, Inchoate beatitude, the Lord of the Flies. So what does it mean when your mind starts to stray? Kaleidoscoping images of love on the way. Brother you'd better get down on your knees and pay. 1,000 more fools are being born every fucking day. They try to tell me that the lamb is on the way, With microwave transmissions they bombard us every day. The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep. The vortex of their minds ensconsed within the murky deep. So what does it mean when your mind starts to stray? Kaleidoscoping images of love on the way. Brother you'd better get down on your knees and pay. 1,000 more fools are being born every fucking day. i can't believe it, the way you look sometimes, like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah, and i don't want it, the things you're offering me, symbolized bar code, quick i.d., oh yeah, i'm a 21st century digital boy, i don't know how to live (or read) but i've got a lot of toys, my daddy is a lazy middle class intellectual, my mommy's on valium, she's so ineffectual, ain't life a mystery? i can't explain it, the things they're saying to me, it's going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah, i tried to tell you about no control, but now i really don't know, and then you told me how bad you had to suffer, is that really all you have to offer? I love my computer you make me feel alright every waking hour and every lonely night I love my computer for all you give to me predictable errors and no identity and it's never been quite so easy I've never been quite so happy all I need to do is click on you and we'll be joined in the most soul-less way and we'll never ever ruin each other's day cuz when I'm through I just click and you just go away I love my computer you're always in the mood I get turned on when I turn on you I love my computer you never ask for more you can be a princess or you can be my whore and it's never been quite so easy I've never been quite so happy the world outside is so big but it's safe in my domain because to you I'm just a number and a clever screen name all I need to do is click on you and we'll be together for eternity and no one is ever gonna take my love from me because I've got security, her password and a key Im confused why we didn't start with him :) |

Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on........ This is necessary. It was daylight when you woke up in your ditch. You looked up at your sky then. That made blue be your color. You had your knife there with you too. When you stood up there was goo all over your clothes. Your hands were sticky. You wiped them on your grass, so now your color was green. Oh Lord, why did everything always have to keep changing like this. You were already getting nervous again. Your head hurt and it rang when you stood up. Your head was almost empty. It always hurt you when you woke up like this. You crawled up out of your ditch onto your gravel road and began to walk, waiting for the rest of your mind to come back to you. You can see the car parked far down the road and you walked toward it. "If God is our Father," you thought, "then Satan must be our cousin." Why didn't anyone else understand these important things? You got to your car and tried all the doors. They were locked. It was a red car and it was new. There was an expensive leather camera case laying on the seat. Out across your field, you could see two tiny people walking by your woods. You began to walk towards them. Now red was your color and, of course, those little people out there were yours too.
