I’m in the US military and I don’t even think I deserve more. I’m just proud to be serving my country.

Teachers. Deserve WAY more. You should see ours. You can see their hair bleach white every moment they’re there.

This made me giggle. Except some fast food workers definitaly deserve much more because of reluctance to give deserving workers a raise and whatnot. And the horribly rude and severely ignorant customers.

Some problems persist even if you don’t talk about them, say nuclear proliferation, the Jonahs Brothers, however are not one of those problems.

Hmm… agreed. When I dislike a celebrity I merely ignore them… Wasting your energy hating them does one no good, but if benefits their whoredom

If you send them to the office everyday, then they’ll fail and you’ll get them again next year. No, that’s a terrible way to manage the classroom. An effective teacher is definitely not authoritarian either, the students would only resent them. An effective teacher gets students to think morally about what they should or should not do in civilized society. Decent teachers don’t want to be an authority over students; they want to be respected by the students. Much more important than that though, the teacher wants the students to be curious, creative, want to learn, and have a desire to solve problems.

The “They have the summers off” argument is bogus because almost all teachers work, or tutor, or take classes, or teach classes during the summer. The “They get paid too much” argument is also bogus, because the raises that teachers get have not been as high as the inflation rate in a long time. This means that teachers technically make less now than they made 30 years ago, which was still not very much.

You forgot servicemembers. We get paid absolute crap compared to some of the crap we have to go through. I don’t get paid enough to potentially get blown up by an IED and be away from my family for a year ($2250/mth right now), but I do it anyway.

Retail and food service deserve a little more respect. Well, most of them do. I know some workers in both industries who don’t do enough to deserve anything, even their jobs.

Not everyone who has a crummy job is an idiot. I’m a college student and all I can do is a part-time fast food job because I spend the other half of my day in class. Come on, give us a little credit.

Just because someone has a crummy job does not make them an idiot.

Where do you happen to work? A department store perchance?

Because that sounds just like my leads. UGH.

And I receive a paycheck of $80 every two weeks because they refuse to schedule me. Yes, the world is sweet to retail workers.

Don’t forget people: Not everyone is in the same time zone as you. ie, your 12.52 is someone else’s 6pm.

Garbage men are actually paid too much. They don’t do much, and then if your garbage is heavier than a svelte 60 pounds, they fine you! And then they say to upgrade to the bigger can, well it’s like 50 bucks a month extra!

How about if instead of paying everyone more, we just make everything cost less? Instant boost for everyone.

I didn’t think they could do it, but they managed to transfer unfunny celeb bashing to graph jam! A respectable feat.

I think anyone who works hard enough should get paid more.

Sadly, most of the time the people that do the “harder” work don’t get the credit. The credit (or at least where I work) goes to some lazy slob who walks around and talks all day.

I do what I’m paid to do, but I do know of two people here who bust their humps every day and then their lazy lead gets the congrats for it, then the lead tells our boss those people do “ok” work but says “I have to step in and help them or else they’d be lost, they are lucky to have me!”

Grrrr.

I just hope you are nothing like the certified aerospace engineers I work with.. They are worthless and sluff off their work onto others while they make the big bucks around here.

You are and idiot. Teachers go to school continually, deal with your idiot children that give no respect and threaten and disrupt all the time. Then they put up with threats and then have to deal with the parents that don’t care and blame everyone else for their children’s lack of respect and effort.

By: cj

cj — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:41:57 +0000

Teachers have to deal with the smart mouthed jerk kids that have no respect and have no desire to learn. And then they have to deal with their worthless parents too! I would give teacher a giant raise!

Heh, teachers deserve more? That’s rich. 12 weeks of school holidays, plus annual leave, some have no qualifications, just to hand out sheets of paper (that’s the go these days – photocopying made teaching redundant apparently), and they deserve MORE? Teachers are the most overrated people in society. Halve their pay, that just might test how dedicated they truly are…

haha… they should be lucky to get 30k a year. what with all the bribes. and the lies they feed us.

By: Cowlifornia

Cowlifornia — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:36:42 +0000

if your taxes pay for it, that won’t happen. and since they are in unions, they probably get paid more than most private sector jobs.

Better to pay them than not. Do you want all your rubbish stacked up for weeks and weeks in the middle of summer because they’ve all gone on strike?

Having worked with the garbage guy, I can tell you they’re prally paid more than they’re worth. You have to consider that they don’t do anything at all if they can help it.
