Think of all the money they're saving the district through the docking of their paychecks. -- nm - Robert Barontheon May 2, 09:35
I seriously don't understand these elitist teachers and their demands to be paid for working -- nm - decline May 2, 09:33 2
- In summer school --- a month + away. - Will Hunting May 2, 09:35 1
  - I read it as the summer school issue being separate from not being able to pay teachers regardless, come June. -- nm - znufrii May 2, 09:45
""There's a basic agreement in America: When you put in a day's work, you'll receive a day's pay," - Will Hunting May 2, 09:33 9
- Uhm... don't teachers get checks year round? As in, this is money they are working to earn for the last 9 months? -- nm - Spawn May 2, 09:38 8
  - From what I've understood, teachers can get either a 10month or 12month pay cycle. - Will Hunting May 2, 09:40 7
    - If you are working 10 months but have the pay spread out so you're receiving 12 months of pay for that work, then essentially they will be working for - kelly May 2, 10:09 3
      - Right, in the summer when the school year is over. And this situation is likely to be paid for in time for that to be averted. - Will Hunting May 2, 10:11 2
        
        How "likely" are we talking about here, though? -- nm - znufrii May 2, 10:14 1
        
        My guess, 98%. You have a contract in place for a vital service. - Will Hunting May 2, 10:22
    - (Also, sick days may or may not be docked depending on their contract) - Reagen May 2, 09:46
    - Each system will vary, but my pay is chopped up into 12 and I get July and August's pay the first two weeks of July. -- nm - Reagen May 2, 09:43 1
      - freakin' Millionaire teachers - Beaker May 2, 09:47
we should probably just nuke Detroit off the map..... - groiny May 2, 09:33 5
- Give them to Canada -- nm - Capstern May 2, 09:34 4
  - oooh, the Lions, Tigers and Red Wings, plus another NBA team. Approved! -- nm - Beaker May 2, 09:36 1
    - oh my! -- nm - Andie May 2, 09:44
  - I would not do that to Canada.... - groiny May 2, 09:34 1
    - See I felt that was quid pro quo -- nm - Capstern May 2, 09:35
