Secrets of the City

That’s nothing new. I’m waiting for them to figure out how to charge each room for electricity and then charge us at the end of the month. All year the admin has preached to us to turn off lights when not in the room, turn the computers off when not using them, and more.
It does happen in corporate America…sort of. I knew people who worked at NWA who told me that they had to bring their own fans and could only run them at certain times.

In corporate America the money for expenses comes from selling the firms products and/or services.

In government the money for expenses comes from the amount elected officials are able to extract from taxpayers.

On number is finite, the capacity for the other seems nearly infinite?

Okay, first of all, I have to say that most of the time I agree with any person who argues for the sake of the educator. Each and every man and woman out there, who puts time and effort guiding the future minds of our society and ends up cutting a lousy state-governed salary paycheck every two weeks, deserves all sorts of credit. But honestly, the cost per appliance is $25/year and I don’t think a microwave burrito is any better a lunch than a PBJ sandwitch. Just get a load of the petulence of this comment . . .

“I’m not going to pay the fee,” said Kimberly Colbert, an English teacher at Central High School who has a small refrigerator in her room. In addition, the English teachers share a microwave.

Kimberely, quit being such a frickin’ cheapskate, especially when your excessive electricty use cuts into school spending. Who knows what sorts of new educational programs are infringed upon.

I understand where Kimberly Colbert is coming from, though – Central High School is the same school that ran out of paper over a year ago – I wish I were kidding – they actually sent the kids out door-to-door asking for reams of paper. Central obviously needs to budget better, and it’s pretty lame for them to ask their teachers to pony up for utility bills.

Maybe they could afford paper if they weren’t paying for their teachers to make coffee.

Next thing you know, the schools will be charging per flush or per ply of toilet tissue. Egads. Give the teachers a break and let ‘em have their fridges and appliances that provide some measly little convenience in their lives.

The schools do charge per flush and per ply of toilet paper.

We pay it, via property tax, either directly or passed on through every other product and service we buy.

And you’re also paying for your kids and your neighbors’ kids toilet flushing and toilet paper. I know it’s cliche, but they are our future. And its the teachers who, along with parents, share the responsibility of raising them right. Don’t these people deserve a hot lunch and hot coffee like any other adult? Why does it matter?

Do any of you know how much federal goverment employees make? I have a friend who works for the GAO and after only working there three years, will make $75,000. As a 26-year-old. He gets a raise ever 6 months.

What’s worth being angry about, some teachers trying to make their lives easier, or some overpaid beaurocrats? Children or some dude?
