I did! I guess I didn't use the stats you think you need to see your pointless dribble. Please home school your off spring and see how well they do in high school subjects your not qualified to teach.
EDUCATION IS WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL MAKES OF IT!! WHEN THE INDIVIDUAL FAILS......BLAME EVERYONE AND TAKE NOT OWNERSHIP....THAT'S BECOME THE THE NEW 'AMERICAN WAY'
Censorships comments can be summed up this way. Figures lie and lier's figure. You can decide which he or she maybe. He states about the average income of people in the city. They all don't have college degrees like every teacher does. The state has set the 'game' up so inner cities schools lose. With the value added part of the state report card, its only a short time until a majority of school districts academics are in trouble. Each school must meet AYP (it 2.5% growth annually). if your at 98%, how do you grow 2.5%? So, all the districts achieving at 98% are failures, right censorship? I think not. City school kids don't get what they need at home because education isn't always important. When what we try to do is met with distrust, they fall further behind. Plus these kids have so much more baggage the carry in their everyday lives that isn't considered anymore. You can compare a car made by GM in each of its factors. It should be the same. You want to compare kids and you can't, they are all different.
Silence_Dogood As Dreamcatcher stated, No teacher in Youngstown makes anywhere near $75000 a year unless they cover classes everyday on their planning period, teach summer school, teach after school intervention classes, coach three sports, and drive activity buses after all of that.
Let me do the math for you!!!!! The top salary for a teacher in Youngstown with a masters plus 45 hours is a few pennies over $61000. So, a 1% raise would be $610 dollars per year. We already pay on average $600 dollars per employee for healthcare. That's already 1%. It would increase five time at 5% to around $3000 per year. My math says that would be a negative $2400 for each an every employee. Thus $2400 dollars times 600 teachers would save the district $1.4 million dollars. What you need to question is the $20000 dollar a year clothes allowance the exiting superintendent has in her contract!
Lets look at the facts here folks. If there is to be a raise for all three unions of say the same 1% and an increase in health care contributions of say 5%. Wouldn't the district then be saving 4%? Once again, the yellow jounralism at its best from the Vindicator. Why don't you state the fact that the state commission has allowed for 2% raises for all three unions since no one has had raises in over seven years except for those in the central office of the board. The teachers and other unions aren't the problem. However, you at the vindicator fail to see the truth. Perhaps the famous movie line fits your ideals, "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" !!!!!!!
A Youngstown City school Custodian making $48000 a year? Once again the Vindicator prints mis-truths. That would be the low end for a starting salary. Many Custodians make in or near the $70000 a year range. When ever students, teachers, coaches are in the buildings, their contract calls for them to get payed four hours pay and often times that is at time and a half.
If teachers must work over time, and we often do, its half or lower of what we get 'Per Hour'. Now how is bleeding the system?
Isn't 'regression' of the Steelers so much better than the 'progression' of the CLOWNS!!!!!!!!???????
In reality of the situation, who would have thought the the Steelers would be 3-0 without Big Ben and all the problems of injury at QB? Not many. 2-2 would have been great until Ben get back. Now, 4-0 is not out of the question especially the way Cleaveland State University ran all over a Pro team. When will Ohio, who has the Pro Football Hall of Fame, get a professional football team?
Wow! Make sure those teacher's have turned in their keys!!!!! What a joke! the teachers not turning in their keys have put the district in hard times. It couldn't be mismanagement at central office. The state should stay until the new Superintendent takes over so Wendy can't hire more friends at 70, 80 or 90,000 per year to be bathroom monitors!!!!
Over the last 10 to 15 years, the district's current and former AD's have created a climate that drives good young coaches out of the district. They had this bright idea if we can get around the teachers contract that gives teachers (who know and have a vested interest in the students) first rights to all extracurricular contracts, the best and the brightest coaches like Coach 'K', Joe Torre, or Bill Cowher will come running. What its really done is let the scum in from the bottom of the rusty barrel.
Look out Canfield, you sports programs could be next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For your kids sake, I hope not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can the mess be cleaned up the board created? Its not like they didn't know all summer Chaney needed a principal. Perhaps the better question is why is Wendy Webb punishing the west side of Youngstown by not hiring someone to have the school ready for the start of the year? the Vindy wouldn't ask those hard questions! lets blame the union for all the districts problems. FACT IS the teachers haven't had a raise in 7 years and we even saved the district money by giving back benefits. what have they done for the kids? Allowed school to open to disorder on the west side. 40 kids in one class while other have five. But everything is the teacher fault.
Youngstown school board should reassess pay hikes

Former Chaney High baseball coach stole team equipment, charge alleges
Typical for this board of education!!!!!
