Shocking and shameful, such an irresponsible and reckless bill from the Indiana Legislature.
Or show up to work to show that you show up when Law Makers don’t. These kids need to be in-school to learn, but also to eat and have a safe place to be during the day.
If anything, don’t teach, have a full day of recess, just like the poorly elected officials.
IPS has been well funded for a long time. What teachers unions seem to forget is little to no accountability for performance of students. Each year scores decrease for students and whether it is federal or state funding, every year the unions demand more money to support their poor results…
Now explain why every other district needs to be cut.
Waited on hold for about a minute to get the voicemail for Gov, so I could reject this. I don’t need a $300 tax break more than my school system needs that $300 to provide public education. If the net effect of the tax break is to force the schools to do more with less, I’m not interested.
So schools are closed because teachers walked off the job to attend a political rally. Looking forward to hearing from the usual suspects in Nate’s Flock who are always howling about education
Like the teachers don’t have enough time off already: maximum holidays, Christmas Break, Spring Break, 2 mos. off for summer. Now they get a paid day off to protest. The gross incompetents that run the Indianapolis Public Schools announce a day off for Monday ON SUNDAY NIGHT, forcing working parents to scramble at the last minute to find childcare, etc. How much productivity was lost in IN from parents having to call out sick today because the teachers want to protest on a day that they should be TEACHING?
Why do we have School Boards and Administrators when it’s obvious the teacher’s union is calling the shots?
Indiana Republicans have been in charge of education for two decades now and have you convinced the teachers are the problem, even though educational outcomes have done nothing but gotten worse the more and more legislators have decided that a RETIRED FLORIST should have more influence over education in this state than any trained educator.
Wouldn’t be a union if you’d pay educators what they’re worth.
I’m all for this push to tie salary to educational outcomes. Just first, make sure that the teachers can pick and choose the kids they get to educate. I mean, we let charter schools pick and choose who they take, why not teachers too?
I think we all know what would be the chain of events if teachers could pick and choose the kids they get to educate… While there are unquestionably less than stellar teachers, MANY, MANY parents are much less stellar. The largest part of the problem is in the homes.
