I think we should trade salaries between lawyers and teachers. That might just fix a good bit of our society..

I would disagree with that because my cousin is a school district teacher and they don't do crap.

Their hands are tied on discipline and that is probably the biggest reason we have 55 courts average on a Monday morning to correct lack of discipline on hundreds of inmate defendants.

We are down to 5 school days for the year of so called learning before Christmas break and the kids get to go screw off and learn about pregnancy and drugs....not to mention teachers get paid all summer while kids are taking hoodlum 101 and advanced Hoodlum classes all summer.

teachers in my district are tits on a boar hog...schools are state funded day cares

Wow, you guys have been busy in here.

A few pages got away from me since this morning.

It's so nice to get on fabo now and think about cars and forget about the swarms of lawyers I have been confined to hanging out with all week.

My cars are so neglected now, it's bad.

My point is if there was real money teaching, we might get some quality folks doing it.. and no lawyers to tie their hands...

they should be paid per successful kid count, not warm body head count IMO

they produce 100 kids that can pass a standard test for a grade, then they get paid for 100 kids even if there were more kids in the class. Only the successful ones will produce a paycheck.

No, what should happen is they should put me in charge of the DoE. I'd bring discipline back into schools Supreme Court be damned. Hire full on drill Sgt's for high school.

Nah. Kids are wired for discipline and when they don't have it, they go nuts mentally. I worked with at risk kids for a couple years, the ones that we could get thru with disciplinary wise, turned from gang bangers to dean list college students. Including one on a full ride scholarship playing basketball for a D1 college

Don't let them fool you. I have 2 family members that teach . One 10th grade the other K. Teaching 10th after tenure is close to 6 figures( he's 35) and k is almost 3/4 there. Um, they work 185+/- days a year, every holiday spring breaks off, and all summer etc. And they never stop whining and complaining.

Did you see I posted the Avi version of the car image for ya?
 
Education starts at home. So does discipline.

Bad parenting is not something any teacher can overcome completely.

My dad was a great school teacher, but he was also a great parent. Hopefully lessons taught with love & understanding we learn from to start with. Then from our mistakes & from the mistakes of others as we gain experience in the great gift called life.

Lessons taught by the mean people we come to know are also great to learn from - about what not to do.

I like that your Avi is an upside down question mark that looks like a fish hook...I just somehow want to put a small spinner blade off of the shank to complete it...

It is the standard FABO avitar rotated & green.

As far as spinners go, two are needed or the image is out of balance. I do my own. ;-)
