There should be no pay increases until drag shows and CRT are abolished.

Max DeYoung

Adam, your way applies to both sides of the argument.

Vernon Taylor

Couldn't agree more.

Adam

Keeping them safe and telling them that your way is best are different things. Only teaches them to keep blinders on to the world around them.

Max DeYoung

Thank you Will, but at least I care about the health and safety of the children.

Will

Incredibly small minded of you.

This state just put a temporary band-aid on teacher pay that only affects first year teachers. There is no cola raise or state- wide permanent raise for all educators. Missouri is still in the bottom 10 states in the US for pay and nothing permanent is being done.

I had no idea MO was in the bottom for teacher pay. I do know they are in the bottom for socialworkers and community based support workers.

How many kids will have to have transportation to the other schools. There are many buildings that could be used for pre-kindergarten. Who is paying for this?

Only if they reduce the school taxes by 20%.

..absolutely NOT! What are the parents who work 5 days a week supposed to do??!!

The Whittakers

5 day weeks need to be maintained until attendance rates are well above 90% and yearly gains are shown on testing.

In many families, the only time a youngster can get a break from the fussing and fighting at home is when they are in school. Granted they may not apply themselves to learning but it does provide a needed break from their disfunctional home life.
