Misinformed? My wife and I have only been married 18 years. I also didn't say HOME at 4:00 I said she LEAVES at 4:00. Mandatory plan period is part of their day.

As for the tenure part - you apparently have no idea how it works. My wife is rated every year and found to be in the extemporary and proficient range as a teacher. The woman in the room next to her is always complaining about how she is rated in the "improving" range in many areas, has been caught lying about everything from when she leaves the building to how she injured a student and yet she gets paid more than my wife because she's been teaching longer and has a master’s (THANK YOU NEA).

Recently a teacher in the neighboring school was caught with a student in her bed - she thought the pictures were a good idea until the student showed him friends. The NEA fought to keep her job so she was on paid leave for 6 months because they couldn't fire her until they had completed due process - until she was convicted of a felony then the school was able to skip it.

My BIL and my sister were both teachers, both spent decades in the same school district. Both retired in the mid 50s, and with all the time off from school he managed to farm 600-800 acres the entire time.

I have a college degree and I have served on our school board - just a little information for you:

Annual budget and tax levy; certification. Every school district shall be a municipality for the purpose of K.S.A. 79-2925 to 79-2968, inclusive, and acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto. The annual budget amounts of ad valorem tax to be levied of every school district shall be certified to the county clerk of the home county of the school district. The county clerk of the home county of each school district, the territory of which is located in more than one county, shall certify the final tax levy rate computed pursuant to K.S.A. 79-1803 of such school district to the county clerk of every other county in which a part of the territory of such school district is located.

The school board sets the property tax rates to fund the school district. That's why the school board is usually a much bigger deal than being on the county commissioners.

Whenever my wife and gets together with her teacher friends I hear lots of talk like yours "Oh, we work so hard for so little money" - must be something the union drills into your heads. Some teachers are worth much more than their pay and some are not worth the time of day - yet the union won't allow them to be paid for their worth - only on their seniority and education level.

When I started out as an accountant working for a CPA firm I was auditing schools in the summer (when the teachers were taking their vacations) and saw that starting pay was about 20% more than I was making - and they were off and I was working in their unairconditioned building (shut off for the summer) wearing a suit and tie.
