That suck...Anon, sorry that you have lost your job. That sucks big time. Been there more than once over the years. Teachers in this district are underpaid and overworked. Period. No discussion. No rebut. Done at 3! Any teacher worth their salt is working many hours off the "clock". I know. I have two teachers in my family. Our district pays beans compared to many other districts. The only reason a teacher stays here is dedication. They do more with less than any other professional I know could or would. They are not your target. Washington, Sacramento, and the rest of that dysfunctional bunch are to blame. Cash grabs from the capitals have depleted our local ability to control the education or our children. We still don't have a budget out of Sac. What's that do to the planning for this school year. I'll tell you, chaos and uncertainty. You know that feeling. You're there now. Teachers are the backbone of this country. In this district, they are saints for putting up with what they have to. I go to different industry events and bring pens and doo-dads home so they have supplies in the classroom. It's not unusual for teachers to spend several hundreds of dollars a year on classroom necessities that we took for granted when we were kids. <br />Blame the people that are responsible. The "leaders" that aren't leading.<br />I don't know what your profession is, but I wish you all the luck in the world.Lancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-75635356411266899022010-09-22T12:07:15.983-07:002010-09-22T12:07:15.983-07:00How much does this job pay?

They are asking us to get in the street, no, highway- with signs, asking for more money to go towards school and their pensions. They want us to support and approve another parcel tax. I know, I know, they say it will go towards students. Like we haven't heard that before.<br /><br />So, you see, I am in need of a job. So how much does this pay? <br /><br />I am a dad who just got laid off and may lose my home. So when my kids teacher leaves at 3:00pm and gets into their new car and drives to their nice home, or goes surfing, I get a little perturbed. Why? Because they have a job and I don't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
