Next time the teachers snivel about a raise, show them this:

Nothing I can think of off hand angers me more then government employees generally, or teachers specifically, bitching about their pay and benefits.

What these clowns signed up for wasn't sprung on them as some sort of surprise. They knew EXACTLY what they were going to get paid before they signed up.

And when you know what the pay is going to be and agree to that figure, then you really have no bitch coming... ESPECIALLY when your efforts result in this:

It never ceases to amaze me how much teachers whine and complain about their pay... almost as if they had no idea WHAT they were going to make when they decided to BECOME teachers... and that, of course, applies to our now incredibly overpaid government workers at every level.

Combine these abysmal outcomes with an equally abysmal drop out rate (for which teachers never take any responsibility either, as far as that goes) and any reason to pay these people more disappears. In fact, we ought to be looking at CUTTING their pay based on their product.

Until we take over first place here, I wouldn't give teachers ANY raises. After all, what are they going to do... quit?

As for government employees, my 20% to 2005 or so pay scale and numbers idea is still on the table. Dude, we're in a horrific recession. And some of that bogus "shared sacrifice" our racist, anti-American racist bigot/clueless president has babbled about is called for.

Soon.
