I was shown a copy of an email that I supposedly sent a week ago saying I was willing to teach a certain after- school program. It was a one day a week class that lasted 3 hours per day...The problem is I know that I know that I know I never sent it. They were desperate to find teachers willing to teach it (they needed several). The email supposedl...See More

Again, do not believe anything CCSD says, they are documented liars. Once a liar, always a liar. If these people worked in the private sector, the would be fired, and if they were in the military would have been Court Martialed by now. This is why that ...See More

anon But of course these people in administration AREN'T fired. They are given other jobs,typically make-work types of jobs, or their contracts allow them to "bump" lower employees.

Why administrators are allowed to have unions in the first place is a mystery to me. They already have too much power as it is by virtue of being supervisors. ...See More

Does anyone feel like they are being picked on by your principal or assistant principal? Any stories to relate about investigations that you have had or are currently having?

TAKE THE JOB!! You should have taken the job, and transferred. You are a math teacher, you could have transferred to almost any school with ease. The world is just one big turd sandwich, and we are all going to have to take a bite. We all have. You have to put in your time.

I'm an experienced educator and have an active application on file with CCSD (considering a move to Las Vegas/Henderson). When is the transfer period over? When will principals start looking at applications? Thanks in advance for any information!

Here are the lies:

1. "(Heck) voted against protections for domestic violence.

Wrong. He voted for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in both 2011 and 2013. In 2011, this resulted in an additional $600M in help for victims of domestic violence.

2. "(Heck) voted to end Medicare as we know it"

Social Security and Medicare will "end as we know it" if no action is taken. Obamacare cut $500B -- that's right, half a trillion dollars - from Medicare. And you think voting to reform Medicare so that it exists for future generations is a bad thing? We should all end Medicare as we know it, because "as we know it" - it's set up for failure.

3. "(Heck) led the charge to allow bosses to deny their employees healthcare."

Wrong again. "Led the charge?" There is no evidence of such a claim. The closest vote that any reasonable person could infer you are referring to here is the Health Care Conscience Rights Act - which would protect employers who refuse to offer certain controversial coverages on moral grounds. Example: I am Catholic, and I own a business. I do not want to offer my employees a plan that includes coverage for abortions, yet the Obamacare-approved plans include it. My choice is to either offer a plan that doesn't include abortion coverage, or offer no insurance. You would prefer me to offer no insurance at all? As the employer, I am paying a portion of your health insurance costs. I should be able to choose what I offer, and you should be able to choose whether you (a) work for me, and (b) whether you want the insurance that comes with your job.

Finally, the teachers unions in Nevada in 2012 refused to endorse Rep. Heck's Democrat opponent. While seeing them endorse a Republican would be like finding a unicorn on the moon, the fact that they chose to stay out of the race should tell you something.

This is pure partisan hackery, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
