Teacher Apologizes for Bugging Colleague Jul 20, 2007 It would seem that the school administration are the only one's who can do this and have it be O.K.
Hmmm, times sure have changed. Wonder what we would have gotten for (Centerville Homeroom Opossum Incident) putting the creature in Mrs. Kornagey's desk? That creature went berserk when she opened the desk drawer. So much for a sullen slow moving reputation... In 1977 we (all the opossum conspirators) each got five licks with the "board of education"
I am a tree climber and trimmer, How can I get put on 'Paid Leave'. I don't even get paid if it rains, sure would be nice to get some time off paid.
Once a teacher or college professor attains tenure then it takes a very bad misdeed to lose your credentials. While I do understand that it takes a lot to teach some of the nasty brats that inhabit our public school system, I for one would do away with tenure even though most of my family work in that environment.
Tenure isn'' the problem in most cases, but rather the UNION in which these people belong and the political power they have that makes it almost impossible to get rid of inferior teachers. And there are any number of them in the public school system, who belong to the NEA and are protected by stupid agreements that they have been able to force upon the local boards. Don' t underestimate the power of the UNION as they will use every trick in the trade to get their way and hold power over all they touch. By the way, the UNION paid this womans fine of $250 for her, and was able to make the school board give her anothe position of equal pay and position, in another of their schools.
Old Dan, I can see you know nothing about the public school system. You can probably brand cows and are very good at it. In any job there are good workers and there are bad workers. I myself am a lazy worker but I use my lazyness to my advantage. I use my minions to do my bidding even though I am a private. What tenure does is keep the ones only along for the ride a secure job.
Out side of serving on the local school board for the last 33 years, you are probably rigtht. I do a lot better with the cattle as they have no union to fight when it comes time to put down the useless ones among them. Here is a little talk related to Hillary ( out next President) and her involvement with the Teachers Union. Give it time to load and then turn up the volume. http://www.stopunionpoliticalabuse.org/lindachavez/betrayal/hillary_track_1.mp3
Garth Brooks sings a song with some of us in mind... "The American Honkey Tonk Bar Association." http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/brooks-garth/american-honky-tonk-bar-association-4986.html I've bolded a few key stanzas which highlight membership requirements and applications... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If your paycheck depends on The weather and the clock If your conversation calls for A little more than a coffee pot If you need to pour your heart out And try to rectify some situation That you're facing Contact your American Honky-Tonk Bar Association When Uncle Sam dips in your pocket For most things you don't mind But when your dollar goes to all of those Standing in a welfare line Well rejoice you have a voice If you're concerned about the destination Of this great nation It's called the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association It represents the hardhat Gunrack, achin'-back Over taxed, flag-wavin', fun-lovin' crowd They're heart is in the music And they love to play it loud There's no forms or applications There's no red tape administrations It's the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association We're all one big family Throughout the cities and the towns We don't reach for handouts we reach for those who are down And every local chapter has a seven day a week Available consultation For your frustration It's called the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association It represents the mud flaps Six pack, beer crack Over-taxed, flag-wavin', fun-lovin' crowd They're heart is in the music And they love to play it loud There's no forms or applications There's no red tape administrations It's the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association
