[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Pubic schools are wasteful in many ways...including how they arrange their pay scales. Like I said...teachers who are attracted to this environment are the ones who only care about pensions, and other ridiculous benefits that have no place in a public sector position.[/quote] I'm not a teacher, but you are crazy. Why shouldn't teachers care about their pay and pension? I would, especially if I have to deal with crazy and/or shitty parents. How do you expect teachers to eat and live? They need to do that, you know, in order to be able to teach your kids. Why do you think government workers get a pension and cheaper healthcare after they retire? Because the pay is shitty, but the government needs to attract smart people, too. [/quote] Shame on teachers for wanting a living wage and good benefits! The nerve![/quote] So you think a basic public school teacher who works 6hr days 8-9 months total (after summer, breaks and another 11 days off) deserves a 6 figure salary, free healthcare and a full pension? I sure don't. They chose higher class ratios over giving up their 6% raise this year. They don't give one crap about your kid's education. It is all about the $$ in MCPS. It is the highest paying county in the state and in the tri-state area. Yet, 83% of high schoolers failed a basic Algebra exam. Something is truly wrong in this county and it all comes down with the type of teachers it brings in. [/quote]
