Literacy test for teachers to be dropped by NY state because it's allegedly "racist."

In other news, the NBA will be lowering the regulation height of the basketball hoop because it's biased against short men.

The state's investigation into vote irregularities in Waukesha County will stretch back at least five years.  In many cases, the number of votes totaled more than the number of ballots cast.  This is the district where Prosser won by the "found" 7,000 votes.  See link.  No comment. ...

Teachers And Their Great Projects! Dec 12, 2010
Where do these teachers come up with these ideas for projects?  My 10-yo has to do a book report on Thomas Edison (he had to pick someone).  What ever happened to the good old days where you read a book, wrote an essay and turned it in?  Now he has to present his "report" orally in front of the class, dressed as his character.  What do kids do whose parents don't have a suit and tie for their kid to wear?  What if they pick Annie Oakley -- do they get to carry a gun ...

Chicago Teachers On Strike-They Earn How Much????Sep 10, 2012
Must be nice to earn those wages and benefits without a care in the world for the students they're hurting. As teachers, they should understand that Chicagoans can't afford any more tax hikes when a lot of them are unemployed.  It's just another show of greed and "The h---- with you, I want mine attitude." Where will it end? When Chicago claims bankruptcy?  Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis said teachers had no choice but to strike, despite "intense but produ ...

Pennsylvania Teachers Get Training In Bowing To Jun 11, 2015
Fifty or so teachers and administrators with the Lebanon School District in Pennsylvania, including the superintendent, were just given a day of specialized training on Islam – at taxpayers’ expense – that wrapped with them hitting the floors of a local mosque, in the required shoeless fashion, and partaking of the faith’s call to prayer. Can you say what the –? Or better yet, how about imaging this “what if” scenario: Fifty or so teachers and administrators with one Pennsy ...

Poll: Who Is The More Whiney Profession: Nurses Or Teachers?Feb 11, 2016
After the barrage of FB posts complaining that these superbowl football stars get paid millions yet teacher make (they say) peanuts i'm seriously annoyed.  2 year level RNs were previously the most annoying in my opinon, whining about pay when most make $20+ an hour yet have a terrible attitude, think they know more than doctors and the public in general.  Caveat: This does not include bachelors/masters level RNs.  For some reason it's the ones with the 2 year degree tha ...

Matt Damon Defends Teachers Against 'Sh***y' Reason.tv CameramanAug 03, 2011
Matt Damon had some strong words at last Saturday's Save Our Schools march in Washington, D.C. Following his keynote address, the actor took offense to a Reason.tv reporter who contended that, as opposed to the environment faced by teachers in a tenure system, the lack of job security in acting functions as an incentive for hard work. Here's what Damon had to say: So you think job insecurity is what makes me work hard? I want to be an actor. That’s not an incentive. That& ...

HOLY CRAP!!!!HS Teachers Toss Holy Water on Atheist ColleagueBy Adam WeinsteinSouth Florida: pristine beaches, liberal amounts of liquor, vacationing coeds, flamingoes, drug dealers. Growing up there, though, I knew the region wasn't all Miami Vice, CSI, or even Dave Barry columns.

2000 Seattle Teachers Wear BLM T-shirts To School.Oct 21, 2016
...last month a student was suspended for wearing an "all lives matter" shirt to school. We've simply got to get a grip on our educational system and turn it around, because it's become an indoctrination system, not an educational system (check our kids' statistics). There isn't much time left, and this is the election to get started. Any mothers out there who vote for Hillary will be voting for more of the same for their children, and you simply cannot do that. ...

In Texas they have 750,000 who are eligible for citizenship, in Arizona the number is around 139,000. One lady who has been in the US for over 20 years is now applying for citizenship. Most say the cost of becoming a citizen has been their main drawback, that being $680.00 but now even the legal ones feel threatened by what Trump has spouted off about. Tr ...

Okay, so I've got a tumor in my parotid gland that needs to be excised.  Radiologist leaned towards benign; surgeon leaned toward malignant, as the tumor has tripled in size over 6 months and now there is another nodule in my neck area.  My CEA is also elevated into the 4s; not a huge elevation, but elevated nonetheless.  My H&H are also concentrated.  Neither of these are reassuring. My surgeon did say an elevated CEA is usually more associated with colon cancer t ...

Can Anyone Read This And Actually Think That May 25, 2012
Does Mitt think this is okay?  NEW YORK (AP) -- Profits at big U.S. companies broke records last year, and so did pay for CEOs. The head of a typical public company made $9.6 million in 2011, according to an analysis by The Associated Press using data from Equilar, an executive pay research firm. That was up more than 6 percent from the previous year, and is the second year in a row of increases. The figure is also the highest since the AP began tracking executive compensation in 20 ...
