If your a teacher, you need to read this!
 

They are shortening our Christmas and Spring Breaks. What do you guys think about that? And what do you think about the Social Security and TRS thing?

Read this:VERY IMPORTANT FOR TEACHERS

Folks -- This was done at the busiest time of the year for educators so you won't take care of yourselves & let them know that you don't approve. Besides cutting benefits for teachers and peopleon the TRS system like paras, these folks gave themselves ENORMOUS retirement benefits. A legislator who works every other year for 12 years can retire with 32,000 a year plus full medical. A teacher or para who works 12 years full time can retire at 3,312 (based on 12,000) to 15,180 (based on 55,000) + 100 per month toward medical insurance. If you want to compare 26 years in both cases, the legislator retires at 72,000 with full medical and the para or teacher (based on $12,000 to 55,000 dollar salaries) gets $7,176 to 32,890 plus 100 toward medical insurance! The legislator say that it's because they make so little, but all of them have other jobs or are retired. If enough teachers e-mail or write or call, it can cause them to back down. If we don't, we deserve what we get. Take a moment to take care of yourself and future educators!

It is all driving me crazy!!!!!
