Replying to: british_rover (May 17, 2008 2:10 pm) Yep, remember this is New York State and the suburbs to boot. They have all my money in the world to pay gov't employees. Starting salary in my district is around 39K. Funny, you mentioned your relatives with PhD's and masters degrees getting small pay. When I made my career change I looked into both teaching and school bus driving. I choose the bus when I found out a substitute driver made more per hour than a substitute teacher. I guess the big money only comes when they put you on permanent.  To stay on topic, there are some pretty nice cars in the teacher's lot. |

Replying to: richard64 (May 17, 2008 8:42 pm) Where do I start to respond? Nah, it's off topic and would take too long. I'll just pass on what a teacher told me when I commented that the kids seemed to behave better for the teachers than they did for the bus drivers. She said: "That's because we can flunk 'em".

Replying to: british_rover (May 18, 2008 12:10 pm) The cost of going to sporting events today is unbelievable. I remember when the average family had no problem going to them. My Father took me and my brothers to more games than I could count and we sure weren't considered upper class. Of course when we went to games we went to watch them play ball not to eat. We also parked far enough away that we got a good workout walking to the game. My Father got each of us one item and that was it. He said, "watch the game you might learn something, we'll eat when we get home". That worked. Of course today, here in the Burgh, I don't think you could learn much from watching Them play baseball Today if you plan on going to the park often, you need a sizeable income and be the owner a used car. jmonroe |

Plus, teachers are right up there with doctors in terms of status. Salesfolks are... well... you know.

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (May 18, 2008 9:43 am) You drive a school bus oldfarmer... what's a kid gotta do to get kicked off nowadays? Seems fighting, cussing and general mayhem are accepted. A murder charge get you a suspension? I would think you could do something worse than flunk them... make them walk home.
