Awww...Kellie...what a babe in the woods you are, eh?

You "dangle" all the carrots you want and I'll continue observing real life how different families encourage their kids to learn...or not! I wouldn't blame any teacher on the face of this earth for not wanting to be paid by a "performance bonus" based on whether or not they could teach one of your "knot-heads" algebra, eh? I know how hard a loving father struggled to help me learn same. Be advised, ma'am, that merit pay (piece work) is a concept of our manufacturing industry, not our educational system!!! The last I heard, the Cuyahoga Falls City School System is not in the habit of turning out widgets!!!

We won't go into the social failures of those such as your Dad and his cohorts during their membership in the UAW. An organization such as they were never truly concerned with the well-being of their American brethren, were they? I mean, c'mon, now...Marie Antoinette told the rest of them to eat cake too, didn't she?

Now, buttercup! If it was up to any party in the most current negotiations to "fight for classroom resources, new books, building security, or updated technology", it was the School Board, not the Teachers' Union!!! In my humble opinion, your brat don't need no $200 field trip any more than they need a $100 pair of Nike sports shoes, eh?

Now, once again, the leadership issue rears it's ugly head, eh, Medusa! If the teachers only averaged a 2.8 percent wage increase over three years, while making concessions on their health care insurance...

...I demand to know why any administrative policy-wonks such as the Treasurer or Doc Holland got a greater percentage increase in their salaries than the teachers, eh? We wont' go into here the 64% pay raise realized by the Board of Education, eh? Talk about a darth of leadership! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! You should be ashamed of yourself, ma'am!
