So far the SS/MC recipients have received more than they were promised but that is going to turn around. So, you don't mind giving back some of your ill-gotten gains? Cool! I fully expect to. It is already happening tho. They are taxing the hell out of my "tax free" social security and when I get to Medicare I expect the part B and "gap" insurance to be higher than it is now. I have already been told part D is not as good as buying the Medco/WalMart plan. Since I don't really use any drugs, I don't care about that. $25 a year pretty much covers my fish oil and a multivitamin every day. Why do you allow this little girl to suck you into these dumb off topic discussions? I enjoy bantering with Plume. The naivete of youth is always refreshing. Greg, do you think it's just her 'youthfulness' that causes all that 'naivette'? Well, perhaps she *is* only 17. ********************* Fantasizing about school girls & boys again, Johnny?? |

Gee I didn't realize senility was considered an advantage! LOL I am not the one who has trouble remembering what we were talking about ;-) It is a strange comment from a person who believes in the unions and their policy of paying the oldest and longest serving employees the most, regardless of performance. It must really aggravate you retired corporate slugs that there are still a few employees around who are not at-will serfs, to be disposed of on a whim so the boys in the suits can take home bigger "bonuses." BTW, are you also imposed to military personnel getting paid more the longer they serve? |

They believe performance does matter, and they're sick of teaching to tests that don't teach kids anything useful except maybe how to take tests. |

It sure as hell isn't the standardized testing bull****. |

They believe performance does matter, and they're sick of teaching to tests that don't teach kids anything useful except maybe how to take tests. Taking tests is a very important skill but these teachers do not want their salary tied to any measure of performance. They want to be paid by credentials and time in grade. Make that sound reasonable to me.. A totally out of touch teacher with 20 years on the job and a PhD, who gets horrible results, makes 3 times as much as a new teacher who connects with the kids and really gets something done in the classroom. That is ridiculous. Too many variables in your argument. You're making assumptions the kids in each class are pretty much the same kids, with the same home life. When I was in public school, the older, more experienced teachers were by far the better teachers. |
