sam brownback is scum and as bad as trump

i am so flippin mad.


and my job is safe but i will be losing many of my friends

this is NOT what is best for kids

[putitinD]

1. Rick Snyder slashed the Michigan School budget by 40%

since he's been in office

[KamaAina]

3. Jebus. Even Engler supported education.

Higher education, at any rate.

[Ohioblue22]

2. 30% percent of the Bernie supporters are fine with sticking that to the rest of the country

[KamaAina]

4. As me Scots grandpa might have said, "I hae me doots."

[SheilaT]

5. Really?

Care to back up that statement?

[EvolveOrConvolve]

10. That 30% number is dripping with shit

Because you just pulled it from your ass. (nevermind the fact that you seem to have no clue WTF Bernie Sanders' policy positions are)

[mythology]

14. I assume they are referring to a poll that shows 30% of Sanders supporters

would either not vote or vote for Trump over Clinton in the general election.

That said, that number is almost certainly wildly exaggerated as nearly half of Clinton supporters in 2008 said they wouldn't vote for Obama which ended up not happening.

6. cutting nurses, librarians hundreds of teachers

my building is going to lose 14 teachers and replace them with sped teachers

that means our program will be totally sped

not what was intended for our program

[Yupster]

19. what's a sped teacher

?

[demtenjeep]

20. special education only

going away from inclusion to exclusion

[MyOwnPeace]

7. How sad.............

before I retired (and thankful that I am OUT!) I had a sign on the door of the Principal's Office (that was me). It was 2007 and we were still fighting Bush's war in Iraq and this is what my sign said:

AFTER WE REBUILD IRAQ
CAN WE REBUILD OUR SCHOOLS?

Not everybody got it.................

[demtenjeep]

8. that is awesome

they are gutting our schools and it seems no one gives a shit

[demtenjeep]

9. look how the board treats the people they serve. 'the meeting is in public but not for the public'

[Logical]

11. Which district?

[TeamPooka]

12. An educated public is not GOP-conducive. nt

[demtenjeep]

13. well. its done

Today was horrible. The district sent in the Assistant Superintendent of High Schools, the Assistant to the Assistant (probably a place to save money) and the head of our district's HR department. They basically told us the school will be closing and that we would be placed elsewhere in the district. We won't have a choice as to where we go or what we teach. They told us that we have already been plugged into a position but would not disclose the location as it could change.

After telling us that they handed us a form and asked our preference as to which area of town we would like to go as well as what certifications we hold. Why have us fill out a form when you already have a position planned

[demtenjeep]

15. on monday we were told our program was safe

on Tuesday we started hearing rumblings

on Wednesday we are gutted



brownback can go fuck himself

[pampango]

16. republican governors get to brag about cutting income taxes - while schools and local governments

have to raise them to compensate for the resulting state funding cuts or cut services.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Something Odd There

Down near the bottom of page on and top of page 2 the total reduction in staff adds up to more than 100 positions. That's only 2.656 million dollars?

So, they're cutting the lowest paid workers? Maybe i'm missing other information, but are they making any cuts to administration and does Kansas have issues with bloated administrations?

[demtenjeep]

18. they are cutting a lot

and they told teachers if we didn't agree to longer days they would cut nurses, librarians and custodians


also our HR and assistant super are coming to our school tomorrow after school

i guess to tell us where we will be



i got boxes delivered to my classroom today



i fucking hate brownback with every fiber of my being

[ProfessorGAC]

21. No Doubt

And i don't blame you for hating that hyperreligious twit, but the numbers don't make sense to me.
