Waxahachie ISD kinda ticked off the process, but the economically brain-dead in Red Oak voted to give their employees a pay raise. Oh, no, Joey isn't for the teachers. Actually I am. I'm for every government employee learning about basic economics. This is a hugely disastrous example of how government can seemingly be the only industry in our land that doles out pay raises in the worst economic depression since The Depression.
How in the world can this go on any further? You people are economically retarded, those that won't call a spade a spade...regardless if there's money in the kitty for pay raises, giving them out in a Depression-like economy is the most ridiculous move one could make.
Only in government...
We'll see how long this lasts in the $95 million-and-counting Red Oak High School that taxpayers are on the hook for...it's pretty, yes, but all of these things will come home to roost in the form of more and more payments on debt.
See, if Red Oak ISD and other school districts had to compete in the real world on a free enterprise, capitalist system, the employees would have to actually show something in order to get pay raises. We wouldn't be spending either, we'd be cutting, cutting, cutting, cutting.
Run it like a business? Yeah right. Running it like government. Never fails. Never surprises me.
City and school entities are separate. I'm specifically bitching about the school district salary increases.

You think that they actually LIKE doing this to us?
Well do ya?
Karl Marx is probably rolling over in his grave as I type...
I am not against pay raises for teachers, but it seems odd that when their salaries were in the dumps, we had a far better class of mentors than we do now. What happened?
ResponderEliminarIt's called the Department of Education (a cabinet level political office), that was put in place during the latter half of the 1970's.
ResponderEliminarAt that point, teachers and the educational institution became federalized in DC.
A huge power grab (key word power) and no longer about education of kids, where the folks in charge were more answerable to the tax payers and parents at the local level.
That's why many want to do away with the Dep't of Education.
I wonder, does our tax money go directly to our schools or first to DC, only to be sent back to our schools if we offer the proper sacrifice and supplication to the gods of DC indoctrination, I mean education?
