You only get to help elect the board if you live in the district where you teach, which not all teachers do. Also, you get one vote, that is certainly no guarantee that you get the best school board. I don't know what you mean by honest. Do you think that teachers shouldn't be able to vote for school board members? I'd actually trust the teachers' judgement on what is best for the school.
With the added benefit of getting to elect their own boss, whom they will negotiate their pay with....hmmmm...Not a real good roadmap for remaining honest now is it?

Elect their own boss!?!?!?!?!?!?
What is it that you are talking about?
I taught in the public school system for over 33 years and never on a single occasion did I get to elect my boss. Not once.
You don't vote? I already clarified, maybe read down before frothing next time.

If what you wrote in post #126 is your idea of backing up your claim, you have miles and miles to go before you even come close to proving your allegations. Not only can you not connect the dots, your dots are on different pages, in different books really.
Actually I was speaking about the demo politicians that the liberal NEA pumps with money to their campaigns, and then leans on them while in office for the quid pro quo. So what do I mean by "honest" well we can start with not distorting my words.

That might really hurt, if I thought your opinion of me mattered on little bit....

Wow! :shock: Is this how you tend to address anyone whom may have serious disagreements with you? Name call, and pettiness first? It is certainly acceptable to argue that Obama is not a hardcore Marxist, but that doesn't by any means rule out that a heavy portion of his ideological stance relies heavily on tenants of Marx, if not outright Communism. Obama uses buzz wording like 'Social Justice', and 'Collective Salvation' sprinkled in with a host of speeches I believe designed to lull the listener to sleep while his chin is still jutted outward in Moussalli fashion. Deny it as you so arrogantly, and obviously will, but the people see, and are not sleeping any longer.
J, we're talking about someone who uses the word Marxist. Seriously, this is not valid or honest discourse. And it is dishonest no matter who uses it.
The dishonest part is that where you want the American people to believe once again that you will actually do both as you say. The track record on this shows a different story, and you my misguided friend are arguing to leave the drug addict in charge of the Pharmacy.
J, if you believe both are required you argue for both. Has nothing to do with belief.
Beautiful, you end it just as you started with insult, and arrogance. You need to understand that significance, and seriousness are not trademarks of the liberal alone. People can disagree with you, and that doesn't make them any less serious, nor significant in their argument. So how's about you drop the BS eh?
j-mac
J, you can't be serious or siginificant if you use terms like Marxist and communism. There is no way around that. It is unoriginal and silly to go down that old worn down path. Sorry.
How about we the people force you to do with less, and you do what you are paid to do?

Didn't the Wisconsin governor bust up unions to prevent thse types of cuts?(CNN) -- In a budget-cutting move likely to be echoed around the country, Milwaukee Public Schools said Wednesday it will lay off 519 staff members -- including 354 teachers -- because of $84 million in state cuts and the system's efforts to control costs.

Cuts have consequences.
Didn't the Wisconsin governor bust up unions to prevent thse types of cuts?
How about having a real plan to address those issues?
As for education, simply cutting funds, with no plan, is not really better than simply spending money with no plan.
No one of any siginficance (sic) or seriousness is threatening what you claim.
LOL!
no one is cutting without a plan
not rahm, not cuomo, not brown...
think much?
If working people agree to perform the same jobs for 20% less it means a drastic lowering of the standard of living for scores of millions of Americans.
tell it to cuomo, brown, emanuel, malloy, omalley, quinn, the massachusetts house, the springfield assembly, the dem appointed city managers in detroit...
no plan---LOL!
a half million dollar deficit becomes in a year a 1.5 million dollar surplus
thru pension reform, opening up health care to bidding, cutting prep time...
it's all so random
LOL!
reducing prep and increasing work week has nothing to do with teachers and class size?
LOL!
is that what it says in the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD?
