southsider2k5 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 09:59 AM) Another Teachers strike mayhaps? Its actually forbidden by state law now. I am thinking at least another work to rules action, along with a big media blitz. I think after the Sweeney debacle, they realized they have to take their case to the public instead of trying to negotitate with these idiots. One of the more interesting stats, with as low as City teachers rank in pay, they have 85 administrators, with Harding making $111,500. The next highest school system in total of administrators is Portage with 50, and you know how much bigger they are. Merrillville has 10 admins total. Hmm I wonder where they could cut back some?

Rex Kickass Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 MCAS was a school system with such potential and they've done nothing but piss it away. And they have talented teachers who seem handcuffed quite a bit. It's one of the few school districts where a strike might do well for the system in the medium/long term.

The problem is someone needs to wake the town up. No one cares, not even the people with kids in school there. Its rather sad actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxy Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Two funny snippets of conversations with my advisor: #1 Advisor: My daughter and I went and saw Interpol over the weekend. Me: That's cool. Did you learn a lot of stuff? Advisor: What are you talking about? Me: Like, crime stuff, did you learn a lot about crime over there. Advisor: (looks at me as if retarded) No, not that interpol, it's a band. Me: Oh, I thought it was a European Union thing. Advisor: Well, it kind of is. But we went and saw that band. (awkward silence) Me: Haha, well, I guess you're smarter than me AND cooler than me. Advisor: I'm not smarter than you. But I am cooler than you. #2 In regards to my shockingly excellent performance review Me: Well, "work shall make you free." Advisor: Is that from the Bible? Me: No, it's what was written over the gates as Auswitz. Advisor: That's not a very nice image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy! Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) Your #1 reminded me of an interaction in middle school long ago: Her: Boy, there was a big fight at the house yesterday! Me: Really? Your mom and dad? Or were they mad at you about something? Her (with scorn and with hand on hip): Oh no, I meant at the House of Representatives. (her father was a US congressman). Okay. The little priss set me up. But after I re-told the story to every one I knew in my (and her) pre-teen set, I felt sooo much better. And SHE was the one who came off looking like a dope. Re your #2: And tying into your #1, you might have replied, “Well yes, probably, you could trace the derivation to the Gospel of St. John, but I was thinking of the song from The Libertines eponymous album.” Edited October 7, 2005 by Mercy!

Queen Prawn Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Oops...I had a tough last hour and made the mistake of saying that I am thinking about quitting to someone here (I have been thinking about it, different story). Well, CFO called my boss to talk to me to see what is wrong and what can be changed. I just told him about being slammed and such and there were several things that were sent to me that should not have been. I didn't talk to him about the serious doubts about this job for many reasons. Someday I will have a job I don't dread going to lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
