Teacher in trouble for requiring students
Posted: Sep 18, 2012
in her class to sign a pledge to vote for Obama.
Above and beyond the scope of her math class teaching responsibilities, and also breaks the law.

It probably did happen 4 years ago, but it has happened again. A Google search brought me to this:

Me too, especially since link to riehlworldview - already went "poof" and disappeared.

Wonder what that's all about?
Really? I just checked; it's still there - sm

The post has two sites listed with no space between them. Separate those two and you can see the article at both sites.
I don't think this is a party issue - sm

I see this as more of an individual issue rather than a party issue. No one should be campaigning on the community dime. If this professor were campaigning for Romney, I would not hold it against republicans.
IF TRUE (unverified), everything's working out as - it should. The system's working.

Note, I didn't find any dependable source to confirm this in the first 2 pages of googling, although in a nation of 300 million dingdongs it could certainly be true. What matters is that this sort of thing is not tolerated.

Virginia Says No To Requiring Health InsuranceFeb 03, 2010Virginia's Democratic-controlled state Senate passed measures Monday that would make it illegal to require individuals to purchase health insurance, a direct challenge to the party's efforts in Washington to reform health care.
But the action in Virginia, a state that backed Obama in 2008, could indicate that the president is failing to reassure members of his own party that current reform efforts remain worthwhile. The votes also suggest that Democrats on the state level fear ...
ACA Requiring Companies To Provide Insurance To Workers Of 30 Hours Or More Per Week.Jan 14, 2014I just learned that under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) companies with greater than 50 employees are required to offer insurance to all employees who work an average of 30 or greater hours per week. My company offers us insurance but you have to meet a production requirement consistently in order to qualify for this, and I know a lot of MTs struggle with this production requirement and therefore even if they work 35-plus hours per week they may not make the production requirement to earn a ...
Teacher TroublesDec 09, 2010This has been a pretty upsetting year for my 10 year old boy (5th grade, and 6th grade advanced math -- two schools). He is considered gifted and his teacher is a crazy person. She says there is nothing that she can do to teach him this year, as he is already reading at post 12th grade level. Her main curriculum is arts and crafts, weaving, knitting, finger-painting, cutting and pasting, and coloring. I expressed this concern at conferences and she said if ...

Teacher's Gifts For End Of The YearJun 10, 2012Anyone have any good ideas for teachers gifts? I was thinking of gift cards, but am always so unsure of how much to put on them. My 1 son has 1 teacher and 3 assistants in his rooom throughout the week (1 full time and 2 part time helpers), so I would need to buy for all 4 of them. My little guy has 1 teacher and 1 assistant in preschool, so I would need for them too. Also my big guy has a bus driver and an assistant so I want to get them a little something as well.
