[quote=Amun-Ra]Does anyone on here agree with Fox news on this subject?

Anyone here agree with Bill Reily in that teachers lead "lavish" lifestyles or when they said teachers are "part time workers"?

Thats what this whole thread was about. Does anyone defend this stuff?[/QUOTE

The first part of the quote teachers living a "lavish", lifestyle depends on perspective. For an example, 80% of the world lives under a house hold making less than $50,000. Compared to this 80% yes we do, however, compared to the standards that Americans have no we do not.

The second comment is very close to being correct for a languistic standpoint. Most teachers contracts are for 175-180 days, which is about half a year, so if you consider a part time worker working half the year than yes.

However, if Bill wants us to work more extend the contract with pay of course. I actually like the arguement to pay us private sector pay, I will make a whole lot more money, just use the example of just child care alone, or a baby sitter service. However, politicans and Bill never want to talk about child care for one child a week. Now if you times that number the average class size, you will see that we stand to make alot more money. But that is logical, and sometimes Bill, Republicans, and the Democrats do not apply this principle.
