“The union [NJ Education Association] has called on the governor to reinstitute the so-called millionaire's tax on people who make more than $400,000, to...
It is still time for the teachers to contribute to their solid gold health care and pensions, irregardless of what happens with this tax. It is overdue. The...
Yes I agree, but your missing the point of the salary argument. This pattern is not sustainable to a healthy school system. Our teachers salaries are so high...
No vilification here. I am not against the teachers. My argument remains the same, we are spending more than we have to on teachers and admins. We don't need...
Yep, I agree. But where do you draw the line? Do we continue to increase the teacher and admin salary by let's say 4% every year just for the sake of it? Do...
11 K? ... My point is that whatever you are paying over there or here is too much money. Did you know that the superintendent of schools makes 6 figures but...
You all keep bringing up the superintendent. WHO hired him? The Board of
Education. It is the board, for whom YOU VOTED. So if he is making that much
money...
A couple of notes in reply: 1. Teachers DO contribute to their pensions; 2. Some teacher unions -- maybe all -- have in the past taken some of their raises...
Please see link below from Haddonfieldonline regarding the latest challenge to the 24/7 Policy. http://news.mywebpal.com/partners/292/public/news979302.html ...
Parents have the ultimate responsibility to determine what should happen to their children not the Haddonfield Board of Education. This is just another example...
Look at it from the other side. The parent has the responsibility to punish/not punish their own child and I agree. I see the 24x7 policy not so much the...
I am sorry the judge ruled against the parents. IMHO it is a stupid, stupid rule. Take away a positive activity from an at risk teen does nothing but give...
This is as good debate and it uncovers several issues. Dave makes some very good points below. I appreciate the comments but disagree with Francis regarding...
Actually you are assuming this punishment decreases drug use, it does not. If that were the case you would never have repeat drug offenders. It seems that...
I hear you, but disagree with the premise that the 24/7 policy is punishment. I see it as intervention and assistance. It steps in and strongly encourages...
I hear you but you are wrong. Kicking a teen off an activity is a punishment. Parents are aware of their kids drugs and drinking. I have yet to meet one in...
I don’t read the policy as “kicking” people off an activity until they’ve actually been caught a bunch of times, which could frankly be construed as...
There is nothing to read. Kicking a kid off a team or out of office is a punishment. There is nothing to interpret here. Why take away the possibly one good...
We don’t agree overall, but I do appreciate the discussion. I do agree that in general, you are correct that in the absence of willingness to work on it,...
As I said before, the issue is whether the Haddonfield BOE can subvert parental rights when the child is not on school property, not on school time or not at...
Hi,my 10cents worth....My parents punished me from anything less than a "C" grade.I had NO freedom other than sports.So what do you think I did??? All the...
Hi Francis, I often too like to see what our founding fathers would have thought about things going on today. Sometimes the answers are different than you...
You are confused - the judge is reasoning the law perfectly. The children are not being denied an education or any other right. If for instance, the school...
Without putting words in Francis' mouth I believe the Founding Fathers reference was in reply to my Communist Manifesto. Even in our Republic we need to adhere...

So, let me get this straight, our already highly paid teachers and school administrators will get their increases and then have summer off? But our police...
