It's the end of the year, time to start reflecting on what WATCH readers have learned/been following the past year. I'll do this in a series of posts instead of one big one because that's just how I am.
We learned there are around 26 people working for LPS making over $100 K annually, most of them your kid's teacher has to make an appointment to see. Their wallets join our classrooms in being overcrowded.
After three or four years, our teachers finally get a raise with the passage of a NEW contract, voted on by a small percentage of the members. Their negotiating team wasn't quite as successful as KEVIN MCHUGH. Not only was their raise smaller, I think less than 3%, but it was spread out over three years, not the immediate 7% KEVIN got. Then again he is only one person struggling to get by on over $100K and he has to come up with a budget, once a year and how often do teachers have to write lesson plans?
Plus teachers only have to deal with sometimes unruly kids and angry parents while KEVIN is forced to deal with a bitter poet.
Doesn't seem fair, does it?
