Class Warfare?

    It's true.

    P.S. Don't take "Let me Google that for you" personally. I just think it's funny and the caption comes with it and not by choice.

    Oh, I think that is an awesome trick....

    I laughed when I did it! So, no offense taken.

    Well, I think telling him to "get a job" and not sell him, did not help her cause. It also said she quit, but before her two weeks (I assume) she did it again and was fired.....

    My hats off to her, I read the Ohio EBT card requirements and it specifically said no to tobacco, alcohol and medicine.

    Also, she's gawt dame right he should be working. The only issue I have is, we don't know his circumstance. I can see young women on Food Stamps, but we should make any healthy 18+ year old male, work one day a week on cleaning up the city they live in, to collect food stamps.

    The $62K is the median salary in Cal, I'm not sure about their requirements for Masters, etc. There are some teachers in Cal making over a $100K but that is only in their richest few districts. I would assume they have either a Master's Degree plus 45 hours.

    One of our problems in education is getting enough excellent teachers to have one in every classroom. Education does not attract enough of the best and the brightest because, despite what the cons think, the overall compensation cannot compete with what bright motivated people can make in the private sector. Plus dealing with a classroom full of children, dealing with all the paperwork, trying to work with all types of parents and then the general lack of respect from the public, including the "you work for me" bullshit, is not an easy on a daily basis. Just as your uncle said (in your previous post).

    I love to hear about people like your friend who sounds very capable and went into teaching for the right reasons.

    To go further, I have a friend (yes, I have to pay him to be one), he claims part of the reason for the drop off is, in the 50's, 60's & 70's, it was accepted that if a women worked, which very few did, Teaching was job that coincided with stay at home moms. I would also like to point out that because most women taught, they really were under paid.... Well, in the late 70's, women weren't happy making $15K to start or lower, so they started to expand. At this same time, it was now common to have both working to pay for the bigger and nicer homes...
    My 2 cents....

    To take ez's post a little further, can someone tell me why when the right is always bitching about entitlement programs, they focus on the so-called "welfare queen" but rarely, if ever, do I see a rant on farm subsidies or corporate welfare. I'd bet dollars to donuts more money is wasted and abused by big businesses and agri-conglomerates than single mothers. And please, before you say that pisses you off too, show me all your posts on these boards where you've made that known in the past.

    Excellent point, it's a problem for me too!

    I have been saying on here, our problem is huge, and we need to eliminate all the loop holes, and wink wink deals. I don't want to pick on this City, but let's just say, a huge mega store was going to open in city A. The fancy lawyers of this huge Corpoation and a couple city councilmen go to lunch, the lawyer stares them in the eye and say, give us this tax break, and we'll prove 500 full time jobs, plus with taxes, it's a great deal. The small City folk, took them at their word and gave them this great deal. Their promise of 500 full time jobs, never came close. The money they gave away, could of paid for 40 years, the hot meals for kids before school program in WV...... Is that good Business or stealing?

    To clarify, this Mega store was going to bring in other stores to join them..... They started out with 200 full time employees, then quickly dropped to 60' with a ton of part time workers...

    New welfare restrictions target booze, tattoos  | ajc.com

    BOSTON Taking aim at what they call an abuse of the taxpayers' money, a growing number of states are blocking welfare recipients from spending their benefits on booze, cigarettes, lottery tickets, casino gambling, tattoos and strippers.

    I wish educators were put on a pedestal like they are in Asian countries and then maybe we would get the "best and the brightest".

    I agree. It is sad to see teachers in their mid-twenties be almost in tears when the attacks on teachers and their unions are discussed in the teachers' lunchroom. The veterans get angry but the novices, many of whom came into education thinking it was a noble profession, are overtly stunned and hurt. As I have said before, 50% of teachers leave the profession in their first 5 years. While some are encouraged to go or even fired because they are weak teachers, which is a good thing, many are good teachers with what it takes to become great teachers with a few years of seasoning. It just isn't worth the hassle to them and they see their college friends making more money and having a happier work experience and decide the hell with it.

    Though often asked, God does not take sides in politics or college football.

    As a lib, I have no problem with the kinds of restrictions discussed in the article. Using tax payer money for strippers and booze isn't defensible on any level.

    I don't see this as "class warfare" I see it as accountability.
