You seem unable to process info in a linear fashion. But I'll try one more time. 1.You wrote: "Collective Bargainin IS one of those important corner stones that make up the concept of a union. " 2. I proved that it wasn't. 3. You admitted it wasn't, as you argued that I'm wrong. You can make the argument that you believe it's necessary for this or that kind of economy, or for a certain desired result, perhaps some kind of "economic justice". You can argue that collective bargaining is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and better than electrified nipple nipple clamps and a Kalis Teeth Bracelet, but it's just stupid to argue that it's a "cornerstone in the concept of a (political/economic) union". Is English not your first language?

quote: ORIGINAL: WyldHrt quote: Why would it be elitist to point out that a job that requires a college degree pays less than a job that requires an 8th grade education? Yes, I DO think that a job that requires a degree should pay more than one that can be filled by a HS dropout. Maybe if this happened more, people would have more incentive to take advantage of their opportunities for a FREE education. As for it being hazardous, teach in an inner city school once. Just... wow. Did you actually look at the link I provided? Those 'garbage men' that you so easily dismiss as uneducated and undeserving of good pay do a very necessary job that is not only physically difficult and thoroughly unpleasant, but constantly ranks as one of the top 10 most dangerous jobs in this country. Want to guess what one of the safest jobs is? FYI: 25-35 of every 100,000 'garbage men' die on the job, which is far more than firemen or police officers; compared to .3 of every 100,000 teachers who die on the job (do the math). I guess, per you, the huge differential in risk of death shouldn't figure into their pay, since most don't have a degree. The same should apply to fishermen, most of whom have no degree, of course. Obviously, there is nothing elitist in your position, my mistake. [8\|] I'm sorry about being 'elitist' I just had this idea that people who work harder on their education should be paid better than dropouts. Hell, let's just all drop out in grade 6 and let the government feed us. By the way, Commercial divers have higher fatality rates than garbage men and more physically demanding work. I know, I did it to pay my way thru grad school.

And in any case, the Canadian liberals had strong enough leadership to burn the white house a century or so back, didn't they? [;)]

quote: ORIGINAL: WyldHrt quote: Bull. There a few fields where the licensing requirements require such but most fields do not require state licensing. You are wrong, but is that really any different than a company requiring its employees to take seminars and such to keep current in order to keep their postions? IMO, required 'continuing education' not uncommon in either the public or private sector. I think you have no idea what it is you're claiming. In 2 decades of work post degree I've never been required to attend a seminar or the like and no company I've ever worked for or interviewed with had any such requirements. Neither have any company of any of my friends who are all college graduates and work for companies of various sizes and in various industries. quote: quote: Confusion of expectation and outcome. Since you seemed to be defending a standard with your post, the fact that said standard is not being met, in a big way, is pretty much relevant. I never defended the standard. It is my opinion that the sorry outcomes are much more about the sorry standards and effort of the parents than anything having to do with teachers. quote: quote: For someone with a math degree? It significantly below avergae. I stayed with a company I liked in the face of headhunters with much better offers. And how many elementary or HS math teachers do you think actually have a BS in math? [8\|] In most parts of the US a math degree is required to teach math at the high school level. Education degrees are only enough to let you teach at the lower levels. quote: quote: Good for Wisconsin. Most places that isn't remotely true. Making generalizations without knowing the facts isn't really a good idea. look up the class size limits in each state. You'll find many larger states allow 30 or more students per class.

It must be that one of us failed to read the original post, but I'm not going to say who. Wisconsin Senate to vote on anti-union bill MADISON, Wis. – Protesters clogged the hallways of the Wisconsin state Capitol on Thursday as the Senate prepared to pass a momentous bill that would strip government workers, including school teachers, of nearly all collective bargaining rights.

Not all teachers are whores doing it for money MM, Wisconsin schools would be doing good to shed those who are shutting down the schools over a few dollars. Think of the children

Try to think logically, dont let MM's wild eyed preaching about doom and gloom affect your own sanity. With the average annual compensation in Wisconsin over 100k per teacher, and the governor only asking for a few pennies of that back in order to keep the state afloat I seriously doubt there will be any kind of substantial migration of teachers out of the cheese state. quote: ORIGINAL: Hillwilliam You're correct to a point sanity but, let's say you are a top notch heavy equipment operator who absolutely LOVES running a dozer.

Most teachers that Ive known (whose most difficult task involves handing out standardized materials) wouldnt feel at all comfortable at the controls of a dozer. They would rather have their feet up on a desk with the newspaper and coffee right there in front of them quote: ORIGINAL: Hillwilliam You're correct to a point sanity but, let's say you are a top notch heavy equipment operator who absolutely LOVES running a dozer.

The winters suck both places I am thinking logically and you are refusing to answer a simple question. By the way, that total compensation package is a joke if it's anything like Mine was. I dug it up and dusted it off. Wanna know what a part of it was? DCPS had negotiated 25% off at Hertz for teachers. On the assumption that every teacher would rent a full size car 2 weeks a year, that value was part of our "compensation package" It was FULL of crap like that that cost the taxpayers ZERO but supposedly we were getting. Wanna bet that 100K package the fat chick with the laptop was talking about was similar?

Uhhh........I posted the figures updated just a few months ago showing the average annual teacher's salary in Wisconsin was a little over $46,000. So why don't you for once try to back up your bullshit with some documentation?
