[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may sound good to unemployed feds, but it isn't good for our schools.  It's a bunch of completely unqualified people who will work at low pay rates and then quit as soon as they find something better - probably in 4 years, when someone starts putting the government back together.  Although it's more likely they will quit as soon as they see how bad the job sucks.[/quote]

Unqualified my ass. I know an engineer who retired from government service to go teach math and physics at a private school. He's getting rave reviews. Better to have a teacher with real world experience.[/quote]

Just wait until real world experience meets the public school system.[/quote]

Hun.  You are all bureaucrats.  I think Feds are actually particularly well suit s to working in public schools.[/quote]

This is a stereotype.  All the feds I know were laid off were not any kind of bureaucrat.  They were lawyers, teachers, doctors, pharmacists, scientists, and financial analysts.

Also, teachers are not bureaucrats.  Not even close.[/quote]

Yup. The job I had until recently was a classic "bureaucrat" job in the negative sense meant above (i.e. no specialized qualifications, revolved around reviewing submissions and then sending back inquiries into areas with issues). My mom was a teacher. It is hard to overstate the difference. I could literally spend weeks without human interaction, because the entire job was about reading and reviewing documents. I suppose you can make a vague connection to grading essays, but the total lack of social skills required is nothing like teaching.[/quote]
