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. <BR/><BR/>“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. <BR/><BR/>Ziggy is part of the latter group. We have to pray for him. He has no compassion for the workers.”<BR/><BR/>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.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089922.post-39284052034621207302008-12-21T06:34:00.000-08:002008-12-21T06:34:00.000-08:00There are those who always care about the poor, th...There are those who always care about the poor, the little people, the workers. Jesus was one who cared about these groups. <BR/><BR/>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.

Maybe she finally realizes nobody likes her. She is probably pretty lonely at the top with no friends and surrounded by people who want to see her fail. This is probably why she is giving up her bonus this year. She realizes that she's made too many enemies and dropped the f bomb too many times, so she is remorseful and wants to try to buy her way back into Heaven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
