I am responding to Shlripathi Kamath's post of January 15 which takes exception to a teacher who…Read More receives a 78% pension for 12 years of teaching based on a salary in her/his last year in the classroom of $78,912. The writer cites no source for the information, and as a retired teacher I am concerned that readers will take this claim as fact.
Please consider the following: teacher retirement in the State of California is administered by the state, not by school districts. It is based on teacher age at retirement, number of years taught, and birthdate.
Here is an estimate of what a California teacher might receive based on the profile the writer uses. It is based on the formula as I came to understand it in going through my own retirement process.
Using the writer's data, here is what a California teacher might receive If she/he
retires this June with 12 years of experience, a birthdate of 1946 and an age at retirement of 64 years and seven moths, her/his retirement stipend would be approximately $1,869.89 per month or $22,438.68 per annum. That equates to 28% of final compensation, not the 78% that the writer decries.

Good teachers of course matter and I think most of them are quite good. I have kids at SRVHS and…Read More CWMS and for the most part am pleased with how professional they are. Sometimes though we do run into a bad one. When that happens my kids are strong enough to work through it and be fine but the weakers ones suffer.
In our school system it is MUCH easier for the teachers because you have VERY involved parents. We are a team and work with eachother. I hate the teachers union but respect the teachers. I also think there are many things we could do to improve things for students and teachers but we lack the backbone to do it.

32 & 38 both going down in flames. What will those wacky Munger kids spend their $$$ on now?

Really nice work here Carol. It was great the way Prop 38 advertising managed to sabotage Prop 30.…Read More
And you were an ignorant tool. You basically sold out CA children to whatever agenda Molly Munger actually has.

More testing means less learning. We are already doing WAY too much testing! Look at Finland--who…Read More now is top in the world in academics--they do not try for excellence anymore, just a well rounded education for everyone--and they are NUMBER ONE!! Why don't we take a lesson from them instead of trying to fix our public education system that was formed SCIENTIFICALLY by Industrialists and Social Darwinists--not Educators--in the early 1800's to dumb us down and make us good little workers and consumers?
Look how well it is working! We are now well below Rwanda in many subjects! NO! No more testing! No more regurgitating little teeny facts that you will never, ever think of in your life again! We have the internet now that we can find out all these facts--like what General won what battle in what year of the Civil War--we don't need to waste years and years of children's lives on crap like that. HOMESCHOOL, people! Form a multi-family support group and make sure your kids are getting a REAL education and are thinking FOR THEMSELVES!
Read John Taylor Gatto's book, "Dumbing us Down" for all the facts and footnotes you need. Do your homework, parents! It is your kid's future and the future of our country and planet that is at stake. We have been asleep and giving our power away for far too long! WAKE UP! Read the book and then decide. What could be more important?
