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.

David, it is not as far fetched as you might believe. I'm simply looking at what those in power in…Read More prewar Europe did and stating that I'm not going to allow mankind to repeat those mistakes here in America. Every 60 or 70 years, we simply forget what happened and then repeat the same mistakes that earlier generations made.

Max The Paper Boy, you are correct, I am not your voice... I am the voice of the voiceless! fyi,…Read More these are the top contributors/PAC to this year's National Election. The NRA is not among them. They are: Friends of John Boehner,RepublicanGovernors Assn,Club for Growth,EMILY's List,League of Conservation,FreedomWorks,Every Republican Is Crucial PAC,Arcus Foundation,Americans for Limited Government,Freedom Project,Susan B Anthony List,Senate Conservatives Fund,Hoyer for Congress,Friends of Jeb Hensarling,Nancy Pelosi for Congress,Blue Dog PAC,AmeriPAC: The Fund for a Greater America,Majority Cmte PAC,Votesane PAC,Environment America...
The NRA makes it influence known primarily through campaign donations. In 2012 they spent a little over 2 million dollars. $1,845,000 of that came from The NRA itself, $360,000 came from it's subsidiary, NRA Institute for Legislative Action. The total amount spent lobbying for gun rights was only $5,535,651 for 2012. In a National Election that cost ran into the billions! Not everyone who supports The NRA is a dues paying member. Not all of us are even gun owners. We support the Right To Bear Arms just the same.

I say we arrest anyone that has ever driven past a school. No wait, everyone that has ever gone to a…Read More school. Lets just arrest everyone everywhere. They are all a potential threat against our children. All humans need to be arrested. Now. We also need to remove all threats. Let arrest all germs and bacteria. Lets ban bicycles and cars. In fact we need to ban life, because being alive means you might die. Oh yea, while we are at it, lets vote to support Israel who slaughters children on a regular basis. I really do get a kick out of you stupid people.

First of all, not every American can buy and own a gun. Our constitution gives those that can the…Read More right to do so. Sure you may be able to,with the help of liberal progressives, ban certain types of weapons. To ban all guns you would have to change the constitution. That will never happen period nor should it. If you don't want a gun, don't buy one.

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?
