[Old School]

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?

I don't agree with everything that Fox is saying, but I do agree that if the states are broke then they have to cut their spending. These cuts should be from top to bottom and since the teachers of Wisconsin pay absolutely nothing into their retirement it seems like a good place to start. I also think that the politicans at the state and federal levels should take a pay cut and be required to be covered by Obamacare.

What did O'Reilly say about teacher "lavish lifestyle"? Several members of my family including my wife are teachers and I've always give them grief about being part time workers.

Teachers are contracted to work 183 days give or take a day or two, most full time private sector workers work at least 260 days not counting Saturdays, so if you break down what they make into an hourly wage then on average it is considerably more than most other occupations. Of course their salary depends on number of years taught and if they have a Master degree or a Rank 1.
