Ed, I read that Mayor Palmer wants to extend the school day and year, and it’s going to require more teachers and significant financial support. Well that’s all fine and good, if he wants to make the teachers make some concessions, like paying for their health care, which they don’t do now. The state pays their insurance, which means the taxpayers pay. Palmer’s plan sounds good but the teachers have to start paying for their own health care.

Teacher’s lament

When pigs fly. If the school year gets extended you can bet the teachers weill get a big fat raise and few more freebies. I ain’t seen any airborne swine in a long time. Oink, oink!
