[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly what they said. It’s a terrible working environment and dr. Reid doesn’t care. [/quote]

You all say this about EVERY SINGLE superintendent. Doesn't matter who. Male. Female. Old. Young. From nearby. From Far.

Hard to take you seriously at this point.[/quote]

+1.

We continue to recruit folks to be supts on a 350k salary, and expect them to do the job of a Fortune 500 CEO that makes tens of millions a year, and with all the constraints of public budgets to boot. It's not like she can go out and fish for additional top talent when she can pay teachers 55k. We get what we fund. [/quote]

Because now starting salaries of teachers making $55k with summers off is too little? When does it end? Can we all just get the $15k per child and find our own schooling? Obviously, there aren't enough teachers who want the job. Might as well be moms again.

In what world do you think you’re getting a voucher worth $15k? Even states that give vouchers only give  between $2-5K.[/quote]

That's the irony of the voucher movement. The complain about large class sizes and a lack of resources and then somehow think that a private school can provide individualized attention with the same funding that resulted in those large classes [/quote]

The real irony is the bubble of ignorance you live in.

The median household income in the US is $67,000 - PER YEAR.

You, PP, cannot fathom an entire household “surviving” on $67k for an entire year - but so many American do survive (and even thrive) on that income level.

Catholic schools, and many other private schools you’d sneer at, have low and even heavily subsidized tuition.  But it’s still tuition.

The voucher you sneer at and mock - the $5,000 voucher - certainly is the difference between a failing public school and a private school, in many communities where families live on the median income (which again, is $67K for the whole family for an entire year).[/quote]
