Please, whine more about what we're paying schoolteachers. Your words are doing so much good in the world. SO. MUCH. GOOD.

- cmccabe 14y agoWhy not try engaging your brain before spewing another "think of the children" post onto the internets? Calpers has argued that California is legally obligated to pay all pensions in full due to the California constitution. If the pension fund falls short, who do you think will suffer cuts? Hey, that's right. The kids of today, who will have to deal with fewer teachers, bigger classes, and so forth. David Crane is arguing that we should actually fund the pension fund properly rather than using Enron-style accounting tricks and ridiculous assumptions to kick the can down the road. For saying this, he lost his seat on the board. People deserve to know where their money is really going. If we need to pass an emergency tax to fund pensions, let's call it that, rather than dishonestly pretending it's to expand education.
- wildgift 14y agoTeachers get paid OK and have a lot of job security compared to the average workers. I think they deserve it, for the most part, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking they are paupers or working class. It's a solid middle class job with a great retirement package.
