And why would you ask that. I was replying to Tramps quip that I would be jealous of the teachers pay which he probably is to even to suggest such a thing. Appears as if you are the one under educated. I see your from Chicago. One might assume you would have some decent insight on the subject. What is your take Mr. Poon?
YYZ is just the local Mj's buffoon. Harmless. Dont mind him.

If you don't see that, you are in worse shape than we all thought.
The reason I suggested it is because you were out of work and to be honest I equate you to being a minimum wage construction worker. Maybe I am wrong but that is the image you portray.
Trampled, if you do not mind..... what do you do for a living? just wondering.
jaxx sucks on the thumbs of warthog and king of kittycats, always has. I think you could be onto something. Maybe warthog calls himself jaxx because it's "Jack's place" where he can be stupid and get away with it, unlike in real life ? Hmmmmm.......
:00x33
Especially when he has to "announce" how financially set he is and blows away teachers......seeing the warthog similarity? Jaxx, you are a suck up and probably work as trampled said. Too fawking funny.

Perhaps I am uneducated. Guess that is a matter of opinion.
As for my insight its mixed. You will never see me talking negatively about a teacher's pay. My opinion on that is that its easily one of the most underpaid professions in America.
I guess I would side with the teachers but am still irked that numerous ones of the younger generation were celebrating the strike as an extra vacation and have been using it as an excuse to go out to the bars. A down bar business/industry in the city is happy for a little extra $ coming there way.
Now is it right for them to strike, that's another debate. At the end of the day, this school year is just going to go longer into the summer to make up the days missed. Feel sorry for the kids I guess if you want. Not because they are missing any education, that will be made up allegedly. Because they are losing part of their summer vacation though. Perhaps the tax payers should be upset about the higher school costs due to them going into the summer, I don't know.
They are likely to get something worked out tomorrow or over the weekend it seems. Then most of us can go back to turning a blind-eye on the subject. That is unless you really care about some of the things in the video that HH posted. But if not, then the story will fade into the background and people who think teachers make too much or are proud that they make so much more than them can carry on.
I pay 6,700 dollars in property taxes every year to pay for teachers in my school district, I pay my fair share. My mom worked for the school district for 38 years and never made 87K per year and she has two masters degrees, I make more than she did in her best year now and I am only 37 years old, her teachers retirement is awesome, average of her 3 highest paid years for life. As far as Romney, I know he has a business degree and a law degree, very much a white collar guy and gave his inheritance to BYU university, over 200 million.
Obama is the biggest joke for a President in our history.

So not good at math. Not good at grammar. Not good at sentence structure. What the fuck did you learn in school?
What the hell does this have to do with anything I asked you? So your Mother spent 38 years and mine spent 43 years in education. The difference between you and I is that I realize that this is a different era than the one my Mother worked in and I would not be happy with the wages my peers made thirty years ago, therefore I would not compare wages of the two.
The question is what price you put on your children's education and I hope you realize that if you pay that much in property taxes every year........you pay more than Willard did the last two years.
This is not about the President or the want to be President. This is about the price tag for your kid's education. This is about social ignorance. Do you know how many teachers have to put up with all the bullshit your kids and the rest of the nation's children bring to school every day?
Do you have any idea what it is like to raise 301 children through an entire year of their life in 9 months?
I highly doubt many people do.
fuck that won't help,

Isn't one of the problems with the Chicago school system is the kids are getting the education their parents are paying for? Haven't test scores gone down over the years all over the US?
Yes and unwed pregnancy and divorce have skyrocketed. So what do you think the cause is? Teachers or parents became less effective? I am guessing that the teachers have been doing the same lesson plan for twenty years and there is no such thing as NEW MATH only new parents in that time span. Yeah, I hardly think the declining test scores have anything to do with the teachers.
Hope that helps,
FDC
