And people talk about us making $40,000 and getting summers off. How about working 2-3 months out of the year for that money. Forget teaching, I am running for office next time elections roll around.
I can't find information on teaching your own child in a public school. Does anyone know where this information is? I will be teaching an Honors Class and my child will be in this class, but she is being displaced b/c I am the teacher. Isn't this against her well-being?? HELP!!!
I haven't heard this. A couple of girls I've worked with & my aunt have taught their own kids. They were in elementary, tho. I thot it was up to the admin of the shcool.
This is from a group trying to save science education in our state:
We Urgently Need Your Help Now!! by Barbara Forrest and Louisiana Coalition for Science
Please help stop the Discovery Institute from boldly introducing religion into public education.
SB 733, the LA Science Education Act, has passed both houses of the legislature, and the governor has indicated that he intends to sign it. But we don't have to be quiet about this. There is something that you and everyone else you know who wants to help can do:
The LA Coalition for Science has posted a press release and an open letter to Jindal asking him to veto the bill. [link removed].
We want people all over the country to do this, as many as possible, since Louisiana will be only the beginning. YOUR State could be next. Here are the talking points:
Point 1: The Louisiana law, SB 733, the LA Science Education Act, has national implications. So far, this legislation has failed in every other state where it was proposed, except in Michigan, where it remains in committee. By passing SB 733, Louisiana has set a dangerous precedent that will benefit the Discovery Institute by helping them to advance their strategy to get intelligent design creationism into public schools. Louisiana is only the beginning. Other states will now be encouraged to pass such legislation, and the Discovery Institute has already said that they will continue their push to get such legislation passed.
Point 2: Since Gov. Jindal's support for teaching ID clearly helped to get this bill passed in the first place, his decision to veto it will stick if he lets the legislature know that he wants it to stick.
Point 3: Simply allowing the bill to become law without his signature, which is one of the governor's options, does not absolve him of the responsibility for protecting the public school science classes of Louisiana. He must veto the bill to show that he is serious about improving Louisiana by improving education. Anything less than a veto means that the governor is giving a green light to creationists to undermine the education of Louisiana children.
You can pull additional talking points from the LCFS press release and our online letter if you want them.
Now we have to get the message out to people. People can contact the governor and and also contact their friends, asking them to do the same. We need to create a huge network of e-mails asking people to do this. Where they live does not matter at this point. What is happening in Louisiana has implications for everyone in the nation. The Discovery Institute does not intend to stop with the Pelican State.
Please just understand that there are just not enough vacancies for the number of applicants. At each job fair there are approximately 800-1000 people invited and the most recent job fair there were only 112 vacancies.
Also, since the parish is so competitive no one at all can afford to be limited to a certain side of the parish.
One other note, I highly recommend not contacting the principals, everything is to be done through central office so that the principals are not burdened with countless employment inquiries. While a few may have had success with this approach I can guarantee there are far more that shot themselves in the foot.
Also, if you happen to call central office to check on vacancies just remember they have caller id on all the phones. People like to call and hang up if they do not get the immediate answer they want.
