    fourth......what you call a salary isnt what a teacher brings home to live off of.  After retirement, taxes, benefits.....no teacher brings home more than 60% of their salary.  Its more like 45%

    Lastly, is being an educator the most important job in our society.....yes it is.  You think you would want the brightest and best.  Paying them scraps doesnt do that.

     

    1) I am also an educator.  I have 15 years in, so I assume fewer than you.  I know what I make, and I know how it stacks up to other career fields as well as other school districts.  I'm paid JUST FINE for what I do.  Heck, most of the times I think I almost make too much.

    2) We are paid for 185 days of work.  Take your daily wage and multiply it by an arbitrary 260 (52 weeks * 5 days in a week).  What do you make now?  You are NOT PAID SCRAPS. 

    CC, the only thing you do with your idiotic rants is prove to people everything they already think about teachers (and you).

  • Nothing's really outraging me today.  Well, the Ohio weather, but that's true most of the time.

    Anyone with more than a mildly ambivalent response to a razor commercial is a little annoying right now, but it's certainly not to the point of outrage.

    I think I’m in the minority here, but people (mainly guys, not sure fab can relate) who spit into the toilet when taking a piss. It’s particular gross when it’s a urinal. 

    Yeah, big time minority. It's not OK to spit where you PISS?

    We were tied for 3rd (out of 27 teams) at the end of regulation, but lost the tie breaker question so we didn't end up with a gift card.

    I have to deal with a very liberal boss when dealing with pay increases

    Considering what you do, for the amount of days that you get paid to do it (185 days), and the amount of time off + benefits that you receive... You get paid very well.  Tenured teachers that bitch about their salary crack me the fuck up.  The only really shitty teaching salaries are those of entry level teachers (considering loans, schooling, etc.)  I'm assuming you've been at it for 20ish years?  Plus coaching?  You make a great amount of money, especially if you were paid your daily wage for an actual calendar year's worth of work.  

    In short... on behalf of the Ohio citizens, STFU

    Apartments/houses that smell like cat piss.

    How do they not realize this? 

    We have lots of barn cats that my wife loves.  If it's damp outside and it starts to warm up, I smell cat piss (outside thankfully) all the time, and I bitch about smelling cat piss/spray.  "I don't even smell what you're talking about!?"  Completely fucking dumbfounds me.

    Ok I'll rank them 2, 1, 3 in no particular order. 

    See, that didn't take a lot of effort.

     I don't know that I can actually compare/rank them.

    Well, I'd really like you to try a little harder.

    Finished Man in the High Castle last night. Looking forward to season 4.

    Season 3 is on my list.  Good?  How does it compare to Seasons 1 and 2?

    it doesn’t seem like it would be the hardest DIY fix.

    Famous last words.

    Given that only one person has selected "Some other way?" it doesn't seem like it would've been worth his time to do so.

    So noted.
