Your opinions suck, but since you are nothing but a GOP paid shill I suspect you know that. It's going to be a great day when the next election comes around and this handle disappears, just like all the other paid shills that find their way to this site.
You think the gop is paying randos to post 3rd party surveys to message boards like this? Talk about conspiracy theory 😂
You'll be the one crying in your open door mission soup when the next election results are announced.
Huh? Unlike you, I actually have a real job. But whatever, you aren't even making any sense anymore and with the maturity you are displaying here, you probably need to head to the bike rack to go get in the fight you scheduled at recess.
So, you think 66k is more than enough for a teacher salary, even in Chicago. And as you put it, for "9 months of work". Imagine what this would be without a union. I can guarantee you it would not be 66k. Which brings me to my next thing. If you think this is such a sweet deal, why aren't you teaching? If the job is so easy, and it is so overcompensated, why aren't you doing it? What would it take you to become a teacher? Answer that second question and maybe you'll understand the teacher perspective a bit better.
In Iowa scruffy, which unions have impeded the education process in public schools? Can you site an instance?
Our tighty-righties don't know anything about unions other than what FOX and the GOP have spoon-fed them.
I never said anything about teachers being overcompensated, or half the other shit you're ranting about here. Some dumbfvcks made the remarks about it not even being a "living wage", which no one with a functional brain really believes.
Put down the liberals guide to talking points handbook.
JFC you have no clue what you are talking about here.
You sputter such nonsense.
I can somewhat agree with your list.
Says the person who hasn't made a post of any substance in this thread since you got your ass handed to you in it. So instead you are just throwing insults and trying to troll your way through it, but you suck at that too so it's not going well for you.
A wonderful, “no answer” answer from the Rico Man!
The first evil is a low ****ing living wage - it's been that way since the birth of capitalism.
I made it clear I agree with those who told the pollsters that the CTU is worthless and does nothing to improve or support education in Chicago.
And then I said that teaching is a highly trained skilled profession that takes a considerable amount of financial and time commitment to be qualified for and it is also an in demand profession right now. The rules of supply and demand are going to apply to that as well. You seem to be taking the communist position of dictating salary despite the lack of supply for that profession.
You're a temperamental little thing aren't you? Do you scream and name call everyone who questions you when you say something ridiculous?
Absolutely not true around here. The private school teachers make less with shit benefits. They do it to teach, it’s not about the money. Most private school teachers here went through the private school system and are giving back. We don’t want public school teachers and they don’t want us. It’s a good thing.
I agree a lot of the private school teachers were at one time students at the private school. However an additional group of private school teachers are retired from the public school system or were burnt out by the disrespect and lack of motivation to learn in the public schools and sought employment in the private school system.
Research is difficult for you. Lol, now, again, go **** your ignorant self.
Maybe teachers could be paid a living wage if their schools were not filled with so many administrators and other frilly positions that have very little to do with actual teaching.
If you think having school teachers being some of the “highest paid” folks in a town is a good thing…. You are nuts! That should be the #1 symptom that a community is dying when this is the case. No doctors, no lawyers, no successful entrepreneurs/businessmen making money… school teachers should not be “poor” but certainly not some of the highest earners in a town.
I can't tell - do you consider guidance counselors a wasteful expense? Same for curriculum coordinators - I've not heard of them too often in smaller districts, but they are a bit of a necessary evil in larger ones to make sure all classes are on the same page as much as possible so that as students progress through school you don't have them at different levels of development owing to not being taught at the same pace.
With AI and robots coming at an unprecedented pace doctors will soon be a thing of the past to be replaced by technicians who program and maintain the bots. Attorneys are next in line to be replaced.
Not so fast, my friend!
Ever visit an auto factory? Robots have replaced just about everyone. Same thing at many Amazon Warehouses. Doctors especially surgeons are going the way of the dinosaur much like attorneys will in the future.
I did not say it was a good thing. It is reality. Get out to rural Iowa. Most of the small towns DO NOT have Doctors, Lawyers and other higher paying professions. They may have a small bank, a convenience store and two or three bars.,
Only if the funding is directly given to "the boots on the ground". In room, classroom teachers. The education bureaucracy is bloated like most governmental agencies.
Yep….Kim’s and Iowa Republicans “Iowa”…poverty and economic failures abound. At one time blubber, these ghost towns used to have professionals….its a phenomena of the past 30 years.
Those of us with an IQ above room temperature will probably be crying.
This is good stuff.
While I disagree with the POV, factually most of this seems about right. But let's add some context.
I have no doubt that these things will certainly impact the health and legal fields, however what they will do is increase the ability of individual lawyers and doctors to handle a larger work load. AI will do most of the grunt work, like initial diagnosing of patients (it's already doing that actually) or simple law work like writing up wills, but you will still need a human to oversee what the AI is doing. While this would have the effect of reducing the size of the workforce in those professions, the number of available workers in those fields have been decreasing for decades anyway. That doesn't mean that some lawyers won't lose their jobs, but it may not be as bad as some might have thought 30 years ago. Although there is such a huge doctor shortage right now I doubt any of them lose their job with AI.
