It is an insult what was offered, regardless of which schedule you are on. With union dues, that "raise" doesn't really go far.

And it is portable isn't it?<br />I hope you can at least have some accrued retirement to take with you when you get run off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-74770025820080186772015-03-02T08:15:25.480-07:002015-03-02T08:15:25.480-07:00Honestly, the education agenda across the country ...Honestly, the education agenda across the country is to create a profession made up of only temp staff. it's crazy because no other multi-million dollar company that requires a minimum of a bachelor's or master's degree would spend millions/billions on constant training of new employees. The would employee strategies/compensation to retain those that they invest $ in training to stick around so that they can get a return on their investment. A smart/cost effective business model. Not the multi-million dollar industry of education. Money that could go towards employee compensation or school needs gets wasted on constant employee training because of the flood of new teachers annually.

The new teachers don't even stay because of the conditions. My school now has a constant turnover of teachers; even 2 years ago, it was not that bad. Maybe the department had 1 or 2 new teachers per year. Now, we regularly get 4 or more. Plus, I have never seen so many people leave in one year. Why do veterans need to be on a annual contract to receive the effective/highly effective bonus money? I finally got H.E. this year, but I want to work in the county for 30 more years, so it makes no sense to give up any sort of protection for a measly $2000.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107550755163115303.post-49971739758896896572015-03-01T18:47:47.414-07:002015-03-01T18:47:47.414-07:00"disrespectful and distainful of veteran teac..."disrespectful and distainful of veteran teachers and the union with this contract seems to go along with them."
