Toledo Public Schools teacher Amanda VanNess, second from right, is on hand as President Obama signs the stimulus bill. http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20101015/NEWS04/10140328 TPS teacher who watched Obama sign bill is laid off
This one's just outright funny. Sarah Palin pleads: 'Nobody tell Barack Obama what number comes after a trillion'
That actually is pretty funny. Betcha Sarah didn't think it up herself. The article gets it wrong, of course: It's a trillion and one. barfo
It is closer to spending in increments of $1 than it is to spending in increments of $999 trillion. barfo
This is why our schools cost so much. They spend the money on frivolous positions other than teachers. TPS hasn't spent a dollar of the $7.6 million in teacher rehire money it received from the Aug. 10 bill, opting instead to save it for next school year to rehire or retain a myriad school employees - probably not teachers. He said the district might use the money to hire its own crossing guards, instead of using an outside company, and to hire more bus drivers to restore service to where it was before last year's budget cuts. I went through 2 decades of schooling without ever riding a school bus or even seeing a crossing guard. IMO, a school needs (ranked in order of importance) teachers, a janitor, a secretary, and a Principal.
