@MattWalshBlog @GVSU This is an embarrassment. Back to segregation I guess. I was raised to not segregate. You cannot make this stuff up.

It is embarrassing that @AlanDersh is older than me (by about 20 years) and is much better at operating this tweet thing.

@SenatorDurbin Seriously? Go do your job. Stop playing the victim.

@LarryStrauss Unfortunately, we cannot fire the ineffective teachers. If we had schools performing like they should, I would have no problem with raises. Also, the cost of living affects all of us. Not just teachers. Maybe reconsider your choice of governor. CA has the worst ever

@LarryStrauss Sorry, hit send prematurely.

@LarryStrauss
Larry, good points all but, maybe you should consider the parents and other stakeholders in CA. By the way, most of us non-teachers work more than 40 hours per week all year. We don't get three months off during summer. Both my brother and his wife were teachers.

I am a CPA with a Masters degree and I get zero weeks off in the summer plus huge hours between January and April including weekends. In 30 years I have NEVER had a 30% salary increase. Plus, I too take work home. I find it very hard to empathize with you. wish you would help me

[James Haynes @1sccpa]

LAUSD wants parents to stand with them for a 30% raise. They want parents to stand with them I have been told over the last couple years the kids are not ours but theirs. Apparently, I am a domestic terrorist. Why would I stand with you? Please explain.

[James Haynes @1sccpa]

@LarryStrauss further, please explain why CA has one of the highest funding rates in the country and some of the lowest scores. Oddly, somehow teachers have no responsibility for that. Explain how that makes sense.
