Joshua, I've stayed out of this because I'm very tired from defending our job for the last few years. In Ohio, much like Wisconsin and many other states, teachers have become the public face of "everything that's wrong with this country: cushy job, world-class benefits, economy-destroying retirement plan." And don't forget that with tenure, you can't fire us! (No matter that none of these are exactly true.) I'm tired of hearing how many lousy teachers people have had through the years. I'm tired of politicians passing mandate after mandate at us, no matter how unreasonable.
So I come here, where I can think sports and take my mind off all this. And what do I see? A colleague dealing with the same crap, in one of the most important threads we've had here!
Joshua, you aren't going to change Rawn's mind. Let it go, it's not worth it.
Rawn, I don't know you and have never dealt with you. You are completely entitled to your opinions. And I am completely entitled to think you're an ass.
Ken
