bonnie Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Reality check time......There are always 'word of mouth' stories, I know someone who...my buddy did this...etc,etc. I have been in the Health Care field since '78, my wife since '80 and we are involved in money matters on a daily basis. I also have a son-n-law whose brother is an accuary for a large-large health care organization. My information comes from those long years of experience and association with the insurance people in the organization that I work for. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this.

bonnie Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Sounds to me like some folks are just a tad jealous of the teachers in Wisconsin. Shame, shame, shame. Remember the Commandment. Thou Shalt Not Covet. Am I jealous of those that pull what these teachers are pulling. Am I jealous they are taking part in lying with phoney medical excuses? No,never have had the slightest jealousy over those that lie. Obviously that is something that seems to appeal to you A good teacher earns their salary.They do not earn the right to the taxpayer paying those type of pensions and the other benefits.They do not have the right to say,Not coming to work till you do as I say "taxpayer" Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this.

bonnie Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 I wonder if two-thirds of Wisconsin 8th-graders can have civil discussions. I don't think so.The students interviewed didn't have any idea why they were protesting. They would not have any educated knowledge of any discussion they would try to have on this Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Dr. Shane Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Those school teachers don't have to hussle for jobs either. I hear some of them are making more than $100K. That's pretty good.

bonnie Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Those school teachers don't have to hussle for jobs either. I hear some of them are making more than $100K. That's pretty good. It also shows exactly who those are that are out protesting.Grasping and greedy to the point that they can lie with phoney medical excuses. They can't teach the children to read but they want to be rewarded for poor and dishonest performance. My husband went about his business in a honest manner so there is no comparison except in the mind of someone that agrees and admires the dishonest and irresponsible tactics of the politicians and protesting teachers Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Moderators Bravus Posted February 26, 2011 Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2011 The headline is misleading. It's not that hard to understand: there are four points on the scale. 'Advanced' is the very top one, and 2% of Wisconsin students are at that level. 'Proficient' is the next highest, and 32% of Wisconsin students are at that level. The national average for all states is 30% at that level, so Wisconsin is above the national average. It's being singled out because of the union action, not because its scores are low. 'Basic' is the third category down, and still means kids can read. 44% of Wisconsin kids are in this category, so on the category of kids who can read to an acceptable level there are a total of 78% of all kids in Wisconsin. Only 22% are at the problematic 'Below basic' level. I would be willing to bet that this category is lower in Wisconsin than in many other states. The truth is important.

Its almost like the HC issue. Somewhere I read here on one of these threads about how it wasn't working in Mass. Well I lived there for about 38 years and in the last few years there it was working pretty good. Now living in Florida, talk about one big mess, believe me this is HC at its worst. I wonder why?

If you have compassion for deliberate stupidity that is your choice.With the more than reasonable salary they receive if they are that stupid,they are certainly to stupid to teach children Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.
