You aren't raising MY kids, since all of my "children" have four paws and a tail. :)

Well hell, they could probably get into college for free as minorities then. You're set on that end.

Has anyone found how much money this will save our state each year? In an article about Wisconsin, they predicted about 300 million out of a deficit of 3.9 billion. So basically 1/13th of the problem.

No one said this is the final end all/be all, there will be more cuts to come in other areas as well.

We all understand this, we aren't morons ;).

What areas? Anyone know? My only major problem with this bill is the unnamed plan on the merit system. I would think one would want to have something lined up on this issue.

Well on my end, I don't really need anyone. All of you are retarded and wreck your cars horrifically and hurt yourself with chainsaws, etc. My future is set no matter what the economy is lol.

Oh.

Have fun copying and pasting that exact same post over and over again ... and then claiming that other people are post padding. :rolleyes:

Don't be logical. Some people don't follow it well.

Indeed. Hearing someone from the other side of the issue, who is open to true discussion (instead of copying and pasting the exact same post over and over again ... talk about padding posts!) like ETB and a few others on here.

I didn't mean it like that. I suppose I just didn't want the thread to turn into the topic of only belittling teachers. Which was a smart choice as 'nap time' was starting to get thrown around haha.

whatever it takes to raise your kids.. we're all one big happy family.

I raise my own kids sir, I understand that quite a few idiot parents send their kids off to school with no breakfast, no lunch, and expect the school to take care of everything. I know some idiot parents never help their kids with their homework, projects, etc.

However, in my house we eat 3 meals a day, provided by us (not school free lunches) and everyday as soon as i get home from work it is always homework time with dad to answer any questions.

So no, the school isn't raising my kids, my wife and I are raising them.

The day a school or teacher takes on the role of raising my kids is the day they are no longer the school or teacher we choose to assist us in the educational process.

Am I missing something? Why does post count matter with regards to anything? Does it give you some special access or privilege?

I don't know that it does. Even if it did, it would not be a privilege or access that I would ever be seeking.

This will have major impact at local levels, like school districts, by giving them more control over costs. Obviously, staffing is the bulk of what it costs to run a school district.

As for the state, every penny counts at this point, and I'm thinking this will probably end up saving more than that when everything is taken into account.

I'm not the official mod of this forum.... but lets keep this thread on topic and end all ridiculous talk of post count.

(End of my moderator related speech and onto my personal opinion.)

Bonelizzard,

It is easy to tell when someone has run out of intelligent things to say... they resort to ad hominem attacks or resort to talking about things that have nothing to do with the discussion at hand (e.g. post counts). Instead of just repeating the same list of people and making blanket statements how it is bad, you could become involved in the discussion in a meaningful manner.

To be fair to bonelizzard, I think he was trying to be involved in a relevant way. I can't question his motives, and I'm not going to belittle him otherwise.

Whoever made the comment about a 4-day weekend. I have the day off today, but only because we had PT conferences on Wednesday/Thursday night. We have school on Monday. Not that any of you care, but I didn't get home until 10:00 on Wednesday b/c of work commitments and 8:30 on Thursday b/c of conferences. I rule.

I don't disagree that he is trying to be involved. That's why I threw in the word meaningful. Generally the politics board here tries to refrain from a lot of the lousy rhetoric that happens in the rest of the forums on this board. All I was saying is that everyone should stay to the topic at hand and end the discussion of post counts. And on that note, I'm going to stop with my criticizing of said activity as well. Just get back to discussing Senate Bill 5.

Thanks and enjoy the warm weather while it lasts.
