Public schools is another issue into itself, but we both know, don't we, that Republicans have launched a vicious attack on hardworking teachers across this country?

Ryan,
Under previous administrations, teachers were paid precisely JACK SHIT.
(The only way to avoid this is to teach on Long Island, where almost 20% earn over 100K)
Under the current administration, teachers still collect almost exactly JACK SHIT, with the Long Island exception still applicable.
No Republican attack here brother.
Sometimes you make good points. Often you are one of those people who looks to solve all the world's problems because you don't really have many of your own.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm yes I have looked at the profits of HEALTH insurance companies. It is part of my job....now what do you think is outrageous? What do you think a profit margin should be RyanH??????
Please do tell........ or do you think they should be in it for charity? Should I have to try to get a client to buy XYZ policy, push it through underwriting, service the policy holder, have mail costs, office costs, etc..... for free?
You might want to actually look up the profit margins of HEALTH insurance companies. Many many insurance companies out there but make sure you look at the numbers of just their health insurance business.
Like I said in a previous post ....in the state of Arizona alone.....
United healthCare LOST $35 million
HealthNet lost $24.9 Million
Aetna lost $13.9 million
Mayo Health lost $3.3 million
You might want to do some more research before you talkk about how much money these big insurance companies are making. BTW......what do you think happens to premiums if people can sue friviously?

Hard-working? I've been a student for 13 years. It's a SHAME that I only need ONE hand to count the teachers I've had that were worth a damn. The rest are overpaid.
My only hope is that I will be successful enough to retire before my future son is old enough so that I can home school him and save him from abusive public education.
Nothing can prepare the world for the intellectual, political, financial - you name it - mastermind who will emerge from that endeavour. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!

Of course Ryan many people in Canada do not share my view, but at the same time alot do share my view.Even though Canada is a free country, frankly lots of people here don't say whats on their minds publicly because if it's anything that doesn't benefit the ones who sit at home all day or are the low end of the tax paying pole we get branded greedy and heartless, both of which I am proud to be.
Besides that the only people that get heard in Canada are the whiny left. The people who in the middle or lean right politically are too busy busting their asses and working to do something with their lives to spend all day protesting on Parliament Hill.

This is True...I paid $10 last week at my doctor (HMO) and all he did was stick his finger up my ass....He didn't even give me a reacharound or even any tissue to wipe up all that vaseoline!!! So I'll I was left with was a faster walking pace from my lubed up de-virginated ass!!!

Professors: a nicely shaped pre-packaging for heaps of bullshit, developed through years of rigorously studying the esoteric, coupled with a dearth of real-world experience.
Add in taxes on property, phone and cable, gasoline, and sales taxes, and for some, the tax rate exceeds 60% of income.

And Ryan, it's about damn time somebody is holding teachers acountable to a certain standard of teaching. Yes it's a shame for the teachers union, their good fuck buddy Bill ain't around anymore.............awwwwwwwwwwww, poooorrrrrr bbaaaabbiiiiisssss!!!
I agree that teachers should be held accountable. But in exchange for better performance, pay should be increased. Teachers have the potential to do more for our society than anyone----its time we recognize that.
Successful efforts at teaching must also be bolstered by proper upbringing and the parents in general. It's easy to say it's the teacher's faults why Johnny can't read as well as Mary, however it's a little more personal when the fact is that there is no accountability for education once the kid leaves school grounds.
From my experience many parents are just looking to survive a kid's childhood and teenage years intact. So was can call it a societal issue or whatever. Fact is that kids are studying less and less each year and SAT's have been standardized down to somewhat easier questions. Very controversial, but my opinion mostly.
Even the best teacher can only inspire so much. The rest is up to the kid and how much reinforcement his or her household provides.
