    Oh, they did exactly that where I'm at. It was confirmed that there will be no teacher raises for the next 3 years. Cost of living sheckles if you're lucky.

    They wonder why teachers are doing the "work to the rule" thing. And why NBPTS-certified, 10 year badasses like my woman are peacing out.

    Yeah, it should come as no surprise. The proposal is to freeze salaries, freeze payscale incentives, ditch sick day benefits, etc. Basically, it will give incentive for older teachers to retire and disincentivize new teachers from further educating themselves and improve their value.

    So basically it will create a brain drain while simultaneously encouraging professional skill/knowledge stagnation.

    And who will suffer the most? Students, of course.
     
  6. So I am finally leaving the house for the first time since surgery 3 weeks ago. Have a 5.5 hour drive in front of me. And the same for the return tomorrow.

    How do you think I'll sleep tonight?

    Like a log. :D

    I made bacon, eggs, and cheese grits. I waited, but nobody showed up, and I ended up eating it all by myself.

    You're one selfish caveman.

    I'll just count myself lucky that I didn't have to eat a breakfast covered in body hair, I guess.

    He was my first 'crush' when I was a tad younger than 'Marcia' on 'The Brady Bunch.'


    Despite being denigrated for being part of a 'pre-fab' band Jones himself was a lifelong performer of both acting & singing. Some of the songs were great and hold up today, though most of them were written by guaranteed hit-makers like Neil Diamond, songwriting teams Gerry Goffin & Carole King and Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart.

    What seems disturbing about his death at age 66 is that according to several news reports, the initial cause of death statement in part reads: 'an autopsy was performed at 10:30 AM EST, and doctors determined Jones died from an abnormal heart rhythm caused by coronary artery atherosclerosis.'

    It sounds entirely preventable--or at least delay-able.
    Probably disturbing me most is not the teen-idol thing but that this follows my FIL with his treatable heart condition flaking out and stopping his meds.--and dying due to it. Bottom line is when you have a heart issue don't fuck around, get it checked out and get treatment, unless of course you want to die sooner than later. I guess I wimped out by choosing a medical regimen with side effects that completely upended my life but I got my one wish which was to see my son into adulthood. Guess it goes to fear of doctors vs. fear of dying./end sort-of-rant
