Let's see if I get this right...
1.) Kenosha Wisconsin school district passed a 50M referendum at the polls, one of only a handful of yes referendums to pass in the state of Wisconsin in 2009!
2.) Wisconsin won't be spending 3.6B more in it's bi-ennium budget than it takes in in taxes, which is ALL borrowed money. After all, it doesn't grow on trees!
3.) Wisconsin school districts save money, in most cases, because they are not held to a monopoly anymore, WEAC, for their health insurance for the teachers. Any school district may still purchase from WEAC, but it's optional and it costs more, so the local taxpayers will have to pick up the difference.
3.) Class sizes in Wisconsin average 14.6 students per teacher! National average is 14.9
4.) If a public employee can prove to the taxpayer that they are worth greater than $100,000 per year in salary and benefits, compared to the free market, then let's have that discussion. Or are the unions afraid of open debate and competition for their positions in the free market?
If you are interested, you really ought to read, and it's on-line, the 2009-2011 Kenosha Unified School District contract. I did tonight. Pretty generous contract indeed.
Some school districts in Wisconsin re-negotiated and re-opened their contracts when faced with a Madison pocketbook that isn't as free-wheeling as it used to be with the taxpayers money.
Did Kenosha re-open theirs?
Free markets give you better products. Free markets can give all citizens a better education if the money waasn't AUTOMATICALLY sent to the school district, via the State treasurer, from our property taxes. Many public schools in America are not even worth the money to maintain the brick and mortar.
How much lower test scores do we, the people of America, need to see before we care enough to change it? We spend per annum almost twice as much per student as any other country. Yet twenty-six other countries outrank us in Math SAT scores, for example.
Kenosha is but one of 448 school districts in this state. Some districts teach students, some don't.
Simple solution...make all public school districts in America compete for the same limited supply, money!!!! All private schools in America compete for it every year and, with little exception, turn out a better product!
Right now, America is all about free will. It will be up to each of us who cherish liberty to keep it that way. Or we will perish in the ash heap of world history before us, which by the way, seems to repeat itself every so often.
God bless you and God bless America. |

Rocket, it seems to me you need to find a better school district. Up here in Slinger we have one of the better school districts in the state, and they worked out teacher contracts without the state getting involved...and everyone is happy! I am willing to pay the (from I think are) high taxes to have the decent school! Things work out much better when big government doesn't get involved... |

It is almost like the classic "If I can't be quarterback I am taking my ball and going home" crap from when we were kids. Walker has done what he said he would do and it IS working for most of the state. The places it isn't working are the ones that were being run very poorly to begin with.
So now we tax payers have to pay for a recall election too. After having to pay to clean up after and repair the capitol building after that little fiasco. Millions and millions more spent because the Dems didn't get their man in office.
I love telling the petitioners they do not have the correct facts and if they got actual factual, not emotional, data they wouldn't even need this recall.
I am glad we are not in the same state as Illinois and California and other states that are barely surviving. |

Walker has confirmed that he will propose cutting education aid by about $900 million, or 9 percent statewide
If a 9% cut equates to $900 million then total AID to education is still $9.1 BILLION. That's over $10k per school aged child just in aid, not counting direct funding at the county level. And Rocco's pissed about this? Or maybe he's mistaken? |

Each public K-12 school in Wisconsin receives over $11,000 per pupil. |

We have teachers unions here.
Beatt or sexually abuse a kid? ...... No problem. You go to a "rubber room". Pay, with increases, and benefits continue ........ The union sees to it.
http://www.wnyc.org/articles/wnyc-news/2010/apr/14/life-in-the-rubber-room-where-suspended-teachers-await-due-process/
Shame that the union devote their resources to keeping losers around rather than supporting good teachers.
Rocco made a smart moved protecting his kids from union teachers

Rocco: BadWeB's resident hypocrite.
In my business and indeed, in life, you are only as good as the very last thing you did.
Rocco once did some good things, based on a motorcycle brand and centered around this message forum. Now, he visits intermittently to spew his hypocritical left wing garbage.
I agree that he did the right thing by keeping his kid away from union teachers. Here we see the forces of the free market (which he claims to despise) at work.
He is bitter because he has to pay for something which he believes should be a gift. He is angry because his socialist ideals are the root cause of failure in every historical example we can point to. Hell, you can throw a dart at the wall of history and see for yourself what I'm talking about.
Even in the foggy haze of Rocco's imagined reality, he serves a purpose to the rest of our clear headed online community: comic relief.
This has been a public service announcement. I am one step closer to completing my court ordered sensitivity training.

Socialism is for the masses, not the socialist.
Unions are for the unionized, not the union bosses.
Community organization is for the organized, not for the organizer.
See a trend here? |
