On JEA will not reopen contract

Sax cat- good for you that you have 2 successful home- schooled children. However public schools do not preclude home schools. Every child must be home schooled to some extent. Professional school teachers work Not to replace parents, but to share their passion and expertise with any students who value education, as your children apparently do. Let's maintain the outstanding facilities and professional staffing available to all parents and students in Janesville.

I'm afraid the writing is on the wall for teachers and parents in this community. It might be time to put your house up for sale and get out while you still can.

On Janesville teacher contract might reopen

Good teachers are leaving Janesville. As a parent I hate to see this happen. Especially when the district issues too many pink slips (based on one teacher for every 30 students) and later tries to recall those teachers back. Too late, all our excellent teachers were quickly hired by other districts. Many want to stay teaching in Janesville but know they can't in this climate. It's a shame.

On Walker pranked by caller posing as donor

Walker is not a fiscal conservative. Conservatives actually conserve things.
Walker is a radical idealogue, a political opportunist.
He is coat-tailing on a national trend in order to build a national reputation.
He will leave Wisconsin devastated. Unemployment compensation, pensions, Medicaid,Badger Care, public transportation, public schools, public power plants, all will be sacrificed at the altar of his ego.
Mark my words, if we don't recall this Walker, Janesville will be a ghost town. And it won't end here. Mark my words.

5 states do not have collective bargaining for educators and have deemed it illegal. Those states and their ranking on ACT/SAT scores are as follows:

South Carolina -50th/ North Carolina -49th/ Georgia -48th/ Texas -47th/ Virginia -44th
...
...If you are wondering, Wisconsin is currently ranked #2

On Protests against Walker plan set

Mruglyhands. The budget deficit was much worse two years ago. Walker gave away $160 million and squandered a stabilized budget.

Hodag60. The people protesting are exercising their constitutional right to assemble. There are no thugs. There are no tantrums. These are your neighbors, family people. Above all workers in the great tradition of Wisconsin working to stop radical change in five days.

Twinkiepad. Wisconsin is not broke. Walker had a $130 million surplus Jan. 1 and gave away $160 million to Walmart and other corporations.

Lovemycountry. QEO actually had the opposite effect. It locked teacher pay to just above inflation during the good times and the lock was lifted when the economy sank.
