@moothacow You got to be joking or full of crap, maybe both. You say “they make” as if all teachers are paid the same, that’s obviously not the case. Eight months of what? Eight months of teaching/ babysitting/ security work / taking papers home to work over each night and weekends/ cleaning the class rooms and there is so much more including out of pocket expenses for things the school district does not supply. Not only is your statement unqualified, it lacks any substance or detail.
Government can’t run our central banks, public schools, etc Anarcho-capitalism 2012
Dear Teachers,
I as a parent want to say how sorry I am about these layoffs. You put up with low salaries and worked hard. So, this must be disappointing to you.
But, please keep in mind that you have a very high place in our hearts and most of us will do anything to support you.
Please do not give you, children and their education is our future!
Public schools are a joke anyway. Teachers complain all the time they are not paid enough. They make 70k for 8 months work.
LMAO @ get back to the gym comment, but all jokes aside, it is pretty sickening what the governor is allowing to happen.
Before cutting teachers how many of the school board members voted to reduce their salaries or expenses? !00 people surveyed top answer on the board
A big fat NONE they all want more money at the teachers expense. They could have thought about reducing board members or reducing the work week for Administration with rotating days off to reduce costs nope just get rid of the front line teachers Arnold you need to get back to the gym you`ve shown you cant Govern
That sucks two of my favorite teachers got pink slips.
thanks
fuck u
Once again, LMAO….you have no intelligence ever. I pray you don’t have children.
bs dumb ass
LMAO….for having that point of view, you’re the dumbass!!
we dont need teachers at all dumb ass
i like it 2
lol
I totally agree. Of all jobs in the world, why would a teacher be among the first to be laid off??? That is disgusting on every level!!! They are very important and very much needed!!! WTH???? Why can’t they cut budgets elsewhere??? This is pure, grade A bullshit!!!!! I’m pissed and outraged.
I agree. It’s clear it’s not about the kids.
I don’t really think the teachers are making a great case for themselves. I don’t like the fact that they’re being laid off, but their arguments aren’t really convincing me that they’re really required.
Crap this is not good, when we start laying off teachers, we are not giving our kids the education they need.
Riverside just sent out 400 today.
I think all of Cali’s gettin hit hard this year.
I like how when the state needs money, education is the first thing to take a hit. Classy as hell.
Outrageous, pathetic move by the school board. Our only consolation – the people who made this bad decision are going to have to live in the future they helped create. Let’s hope the population is educated enough to know who to blame. Oh, I suppose that problem’s solved. It’s too much to hope that their own consciences will catch up with them. I guess it really is just the children who will suffer for this.
Hey, schoolboard, let those teachers teach.
hey Teacher, leave those kids alone!
And of course Elmo gets the golden parachaute bailout from all of this.
ROFLMFAOOOOOOOOOOO@THIS…
Kermit was on from the first very episode! In 2001, Sesame Workshop, who had paid Jim Henson Productions to provide their characters bought their Muppets, but not Kermit because he was not an exclusive character. What made Kermit? famous, is Bein Green is from SS. Being Green is about the insecurities, felt by Kermit’s original performer and creator, Jim Henson.

Kermit the frog is number one in sesame street yahoo he the best
Grover doesn’t talk like that. Elmo does!
That looks like the old SNL set behind him
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids’ room, the father said,”Take the kids and get out of the house. We’ll call the police, we don’t have a clown statue.” The “clown statue” is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don’t post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed? at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didnt want that happening to me
