On Step by step, Janesville teachers are getting a pay increase

Regarding people in other professions paying for their own college credits, I beg to differ. I have friends who work for companies who NEVER have to pay for continuing education! One friend, in particular, had his entire masters degree paid for by his company and is now working on a second degree. I don't think anyone is saying that the school district needs to foot the bill for teachers' continuing education. It would just be nice to know that all the hard work and money paid out to accomplish the task reflects some sort of fair compensation. It DEFINITELY is not in Janesville.

What the Gazette fails to mention is that most of the working conditions that teachers want to review don't cost the district a cent and some actually save them money. They also fail to mention that teachers have not gotten a cost of living increase for many, many years. Remember when the economy was so great? Teachers in Janesville didn't experience any of those benefits due to the QEO and our district's refusal to properly compensate their employees even though money was being made BY the district. The most shameful thing about all of this? I've talked to negotiators from other school districts who use Janesville as the example of the model they DON'T want to follow when negotiating. This school district needs to stop preaching the whole Studer philosophy unless they're willing to follow it. Building UP employees instead of bringing them down is a big component of it. Apparently they think they can ignore that part.

vatoloco - I don't think anyone is saying that Christianity needs to be eliminated. We'd just like Christians to start ACTING like Christians and stop picking and choosing which Bible verses they want to follow and which they don't. I have no problem with Christians. I'm just not too fond of the kind of Christian that persecutes others based on archaic Bible verses that support the laws of ancient civilization.

I'm sure if they had their way, that's exactly where homosexuals would be. Why do I have the feeling that NewEaglesWings, truth1, and lovethemidwest would be the first ones in line to sign up for guard duty?

Finally, if you are so sure that homosexuals are going to Hell, why do you even care? If, for one minute, you actually think your hateful comments are going to make homosexuals suddenly realize they shouldn't be gay, you're more ignorant than I imagined. If anything, you not only turn off the so-called sinners you are trying to save but also the heterosexuals who think organized religion is populated with hate spewing Christians like you! Leave homosexuals alone. Believe that they are doomed to Hell and let it be. Then, go back and worship YOUR God, who is definitely NOT my God.

I also don't understand why teachers are the only public employees who are ever chastised for wanting a fair and decent salary. No one ever criticizes firemen, policmen, or other city workers when they get a raise. You never even hear a word about it. Don't get me wrong, I would never insinuate that any of these employees don't deserve the wages they're earning. They totally do! I'm just saying teachers deserve the same respect and appreciation. After all, they're educating our future firemen, policemen, and all of society's other valuable workers. Why is that always forgotten?
