Due to recent developments, the Baldwin Wallace College
Research Team has decided to expand our research study.
The original concept of the study was to find answers as
to why secondary educators stay in the teaching field for
more than 20 years. However, due to the overwhelming
response from participants and observers of the study, a
new more significant development has revealed itself. Our
research team is now progressively moving towards the
development of a significant grounded theory for a
qualitative-quantitative study. More details on this new
development will be shared in the upcoming weeks on our
website.
Our research team is still accepting surveys from
Secondary Teachers with more than 20 + years of
experience. The data collected thus far, and in the future
will be a factor in the overall study. The deadline for
the completion of our online survey is November 4, 2004. I
urge any secondary teacher with 20 + yrs of experience to
take the survey. The survey consists of ten questions and
no personal data has to be given. The data from the survey
is directly sent to the researchers. The survey can be
taken in eight different languages included English,
French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Japanese,
and Chinese.
Come join us. Be a part of educational research history.
Let your voice be heard along with the many teachers from
around the world who have participated. Thank You.

Dear National Education Association Retiree:
I’m very pleased to have won the recommendation of the NEA
for President of the United States.
One of the chief reasons for NEA’s recommendation is my
longtime support for public education, including ensuring
retirement security for the dedicated men and women who
teach our nation’s children. For example, I strongly
oppose the Government Pension Offset and the Windfall
Elimination Provision – both of which unfairly penalize
public employees – and I oppose mandatory Social Security
coverage for public employees.
In the United States Senate, I represent the people of
Massachusetts, a state in which most public employees,
including educators, do not participate in Social
Security. As a result, I’m very familiar with public
pensions and the unfair treatment that public pensioners
receive under the Social Security system.
Social Security is a wonderful system for the vast
majority of Americans. It provides income protection for
millions of families, including children as well as senior
citizens. But for millions of other Americans – public
employees and retirees – Social Security benefits have been
reduced or eliminated for reasons that make little sense to
me.
The Government Pension Offset (GPO) cuts Social Security
spouse and widow benefits that were earned by a public
employee’s husband or wife. When you consider that a
spouse who never worked a day is entitled to receive full
Social Security spousal benefits with no offset, the GPO
seems a particularly harsh penalty for those who have spent
their careers serving their communities.
The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) cuts Social
Security benefits that public employees earned themselves
through private sector jobs held at various stages of their
work lives. These workers made the same payroll
contributions to Social Security as other workers with
similar earnings, but are penalized simply because they
spent part of their careers in public service.
In the Senate, I’ve been a strong advocate for reforming or
repealing both the GPO and the WEP. I’ve introduced (as
chief sponsor in the last two sessions of Congress) S.1011 –
a bill to modify the WEP and help retired educators keep
more of their earned Social Security benefits. I am also a
cosponsor of S. 349, the GPO/WEP repeal bill, and S. 363, a
bill to eliminate much of the GPO penalty.
I’ve urged all my Senate colleagues to support this
legislation in order to right a wrong that should have been
corrected a long time ago. If nothing is done about the
offsets in the current session of Congress, I promise to
use all my influence as the next President of the United
States to finally get rid of the GPO and WEP.
Also, as President, I will make sure that strengthening
Social Security will never mean undermining public pension
plans. As you may know, several proposals to maintain
solvency in Social Security have included a requirement for
all state and local governments to start participating in
the national system. It is my view that this would provide
very little help for Social Security, while potentially
harming a lot of public employees and retirees.
Mandating Social Security participation is a bad idea, and
as President I will continue to oppose it.
Of course, it will take your support in the presidential
election for there to be a Kerry Administration.
Therefore, I urge you to vote for the Kerry-Edwards ticket
on November 2. Stand up for us on Election Day, and our
administration will stand up for you each and every day
we’re in office.
Sincerely,
John F. Kerry

Hello,
My name is Kristen I live outside of Niagara Falls NY and
I am helping my daughter's 3rd grade teacher organize a
project. I am in need of willing participants. The project
will consist of each participating class to make 16 paper
gingerbread men, depicting facts about the area or state
that you live in. I will include a link at the end of this
email to a site that I got this idea from. This shows
examples of gingerbread men they had received while doing a
similar project. Then those 16 will be sent out, one to
each of the participating schools from all around the
country. This will teach the students many different skills
including geography, map skills, writing and social studies.
A bulletin board can be made with a map and when the
gingerbread men are received, a map marker can be placed
from that school. We will need 17 schools to participate,
since you wouldn't send one to your own school. The
students can brainstorm, research, and create the
gingerbread men individually or as a group. If you are
interested all I will need from you is your school address,
and your name, so that I can give a list of class names to
all participants. If you are not interested, please share
this idea with another third grade teacher. I would like to
get this project started right after Thanksgiving, so that
the gingerbread men can be mailed out by December 10th. If
you are interested please email me back by November 12th.
This will allow for other classes to be contacted if you
cannot participate. Here is the link to the similar project
to give you a better idea.

Is any of this true? We are really interested in teaching

pure enjoyment we would both get out of it. If anyone
could help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
