The @motherjones explainers are the most helpful thing on the internet.
As a teacher, I can tell you that while there are 180 days in the academic calendar I, along with my fellow colleagues, work far more than that. Weekends, after school, are spent grading and tailoring lessons to bolster student engagement...I calculated my hours spent working for one month with my "high" paid salary and saw that I made only $10.00/hr. I am sure that many Chicagoan teachers did not arrive at the decision to strike easily. I hope they are offered an acceptable resolution quickly. Going without pay is never an easy choice.
My big question is...what excuse does the government have for using inefficient and outdated technology in any area? Seems to me there is no good excuse! They should work for more efficiency and less redundancy!
Wow. Concise and fascinating summary of #republican and #democrat party platforms from 1956 and 2012.
I'm thinking if I spent $27 million and didn't know if it "had any effect," I'd probably be fired. But hey, these guys are "businessmen" so they must know what they're doing, right?
@MotherJones Did you know I love you guys? Now you know.
A few major differences between the parties are easily illustrated by your article. It boils down to this: Republicans may, when it's deemed necessary, openly anticipate a day when one of their politicians may, in the future, consider making it known publicly that he may support a gay candidate. Democrats support good candidates, some of whom happen to be gay.
The funny thing is that design-build contracts are sold as a way to save cost and meet tight schedules. But as the saying goes: "Good. Fast. Cheap. Pick two."
Thank goodness for the teachers that go beyond the call of duty and sacrifice to help students. I have come to realize and appreciate the teachers in my life that went the extra mile and made sure basic concepts were grasped by all. Expectations by the gov will make this more difficult and require parents to teach other objectives than those graded on standardized testing. Good read on MJ.
Professionally trained police officers wounded 8 bystanders in this chaotic situation. Just imagine how bad things would have been if several civilians had been carrying concealed weapons at that moment at that location. Our supreme Court has decided that anyone can bring a gun anywhere. Is there no right to be safe walking down the street?
heh. Lots of ridiculous comments off subject today. But Hanta virus kills, so this is not a laughing matter. I was working with the IHS in New Mexico when the Navajo outbreak occurred awhile back. Several young people died before the cause was identified.
