"Bad Boy! Bad Boy!"

>
Ziggy refuses propitiation.

Now he’s picking on my boyfriend in high school, Isaac Newton. Isaac became a don at Cambridge and never married. I had turned him down. He spent all his time thinking up formulae and would never have taken me out for a movie or to Bergdorf Goodman to look at frocks and shoes.

Ziggy’s is an anal-retentive character that wants to nitpick you to death. Don’t let him. Make a big bowl of chocolate pudding and throw it at Ziggy by the spoonful when he approaches you and say, “Bad boy! Bad boy!”

My Ouija Board reveals that Ziggy has a crush on Ms. Elia. He finds her using the "f" word and mullet hairdo irresistible. lee

“Newton helped me figure out that each teacher would get about $210.”

Tell Newton he is wrong. How do you arrive at that amount? If each teacher received $210, then that means there would only be about 200 teachers in the district.

“Then there are those who care about the people in power and identify with those people so that they can feel like part of an exclusive group and feel privileged. Most conservatives are in this group, and ironically, most religious people are in this group, because they lose sight of what religion is all about.

Ziggy is part of the latter group. We have to pray for him. He has no compassion for the workers.”

This is not true. I figure there are plenty of people like you to defend the little people, so I’ve decided to defend some of the people at the top. You all tend to group “administrators” into one big evil group. You assume that every single one of them is evil and doesn’t care a lick about the teachers. When you all speak of the administration, you always speak of the superintendent and those just below her. There are many other types of administrators as well such as assistant principals, principals, area directors, supervisors, and general directors. I assure that these administrators aren’t making nearly as much as Elia and her staff. I do think some at the top are overpaid, but you can’t just criticize them just for making a certain salary and then, because they make that certain salary, assume that they are money hungry and don’t care about the students and teachers. You criticize them for making more money than you, but do you not aspire to make more money? I mean, isn’t that the whole reason you’re complaining? How you criticize something that you wish to attain? You don’t care about that you don’t make a lot of money, only that someone above you is making more than you. I guarantee that if they increased the pay of a starting teacher’s salary to $100,000, you would still complain because, in turn, all of the people in positions about you would get a large increase in salary as well. If teachers got $100,000, then Elia would probably get $800,000 or more. So I make my point in the fact that it isn’t so much the lack of salary, but the difference in salary. Let me remind you also that administrators have higher-level degrees and typically work much longer hours. Teachers ARE underpaid. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone above you is overpaid.

In that case I believe we should build an entire FIELD of schools /// prepubescent, VPK, kiddygarten, elem, middle, high and COLLIDGE and name them the MARY ELLEN ELIA SKOOLS of dysfuntion, theft, hypocrisy and threats.

I have to differ strongly with one point. There is NO WAY that Elia is THE MOST HATED person in Hillsborough County. I realize she strove mightily. I do 'git git git' that. BUT, there is NO WAY.
There is such stiff competition for this title that I fear that EVEN the evil la elia-essence could only place perhaps somewhere between twenty five and fifty. NO WAY.
My god there's brian blair, david gee, ken hagan, kevin white .... among women there is ronda storms, pam iorio, janet weaver-coats ....

COME ON, the competition is FIERCE.
Anyone know why Clarence Holley is suing her???

Ziggy,
Not everyone allows money to rule his/her life. I for one do not plan to ever go into administration. I want to work directly in the schools helping students. Apart from the small cost of living increases each year and occasional raises I have no true desire to make more money. If $100K was awarded to me out of nowhere I would not refuse it, but overall, money does not rule my life. There are much more important things.
