">$100k in retirement health benefits after 10 years. No one talks about that."

No one talks about that because it is as fictional as the Easter Bunny. You must be mistaking teachers for administrators.
On School board presidents will discuss budget issues

This is a ploy by the JSD Board of Education to attempt to apply pressure to the JEA to take a zero pay increase. What do you think they will all talk about at the meeting? Most likely it will be an attempt by Severson to get other Rock County school boards to push for low or zero pay increases to their teachers so the Janesville BOE can say to the JEA, "look around Rock County, other districts are asking their teachers to do the same."

I can recall being taken out by that church when I was a freshman in high school. It was all part of the homecoming week and freshman hazing. The lighted cross in the middle of nowhere added to the suspense of it all. It was all good fun.

The previous comment about public schools being "the great equalizer" should have stated that public schools are our "closest thing we have to being an equalizer in our society". What I mean here is that because of public schools, children born into poverty can achieve greatness in this country. I wonder if that is the case in these other "industrialized counties" the linked article writes about.

Just another point to add here related to caddyshack243's post, I have heard in the past the JSD refer to this Fund 10 as a "rainy day" fund. Well, we must live in a desert here in Janesville. I am not sure exactly how much of our tax money is in the "rainy day" fund but I believe I heard upwards of around $30 million. Can anyone verify that?

While I agree with the sentiment of a previous poster about how we need to value teachers here more as other industrialized countries do to their teachers, I do not agree that our educational system is, or ever was, in a "downward trend". Over the last 30 or so years an ever increasing amount of responsibilities have been added to schools (mostly parental responsibilities). Today, more than ever, public schools are the great equalizer in our American society.

I have yet to see a post by a teacher complaining about salary and benefits. All I have seen are non-teachers complaining about teacher salary and benefits. The post I see from those I assume to be teachers are only defending what they do for a living.

Testerrific - Do you think you could get your point across without your Italian references? I understand you are trying to attack the Catholic Church(which is fine if you keep it in the confines of what the article is reporting). You have no grounds to attack Italians with your stereotyped ridden rant about how you think the Catholic Church works.
