To go back and fix it. I did, and now you’re complaining and I followed your suggestion. At least I correct my typos, which are most often caused by a combination of working on a small iPhone keypad and its predictive text that sometimes does not predict correctly.

And, by the way, you left out the space between “Ha“ and “Ha,“ given that the second “Ha” is a separate capitalized word. Maybe if you had been teaching for 40 instead of 39 years you wouldn’t have made that mistake.

. . . of the issue of teacher pay into the question of incentivizing teacher performance through monetary rewards. You posted that blurb in an OP dealing with a teacher walkout that was sparked by a lack of sufficient teacher compensation, thereby linking the two whether you intended to do so or not.

Don’t blame me for your imprecise word choice, Moreover, when I referred to her as not striking or hitting, I was giving her the benefit of the doubt. If you would rather see her described as assaulting other people, I’ll leave that up to you.

. . . could mean that your mother did not hit people, that she was beautiful, or that she walked the picket lines. Damn! Where’s your English-precise mom when you need her?

. . . but with teacher compensation—at least not in the thumbnail abstract you posted. All it did was attack teacher pay, comparing it to “bribes.” But you decided to throw it into this thread, under an OP that was focused on teachers who were engaging in a walkout because of the lack of sufficient compensation. Trying to have it both ways.

I got your initial comments on gold stars, rewards, pay, bribes, etc., even though all you did was mention them from a brief abstract. You don’t need to repost, you need to rethink.

Now, where we? Oh yes, those teachers in Kentucky, Oklahoma, West Virginia, North Carolina and Arizona who support the protest action of a walkout. They’re wrong – – and, of course, you’re right.

. . . in Japan. I had to squeeze that out of you. And those US states I mentioned where they have had teacher strikes or where ones are pending – – Arizona, Kentucky, West Virginia, North Carolina and Oklahoma – – those teachers are wrong because, yep, you’re always right. C’mon, Richard, you can do better than that.

I lived for 21 months in Japan as a Mormon missionary. Taught English classes to its native inhabitants. (And you didn’t say you were living in Japan. You said you were out of town And that you have an adult child living in Japan. Go back and read what you wrote).

When you’re out of step with Arizona and its public teachers, that just shows you are really behind the times. Other states—recently Oklahoma, Kentucky and West Virginia—have seen their own public educator protests. Wonder why?

The public in this state was strongly supportive of the teachers’ movement for higher pay and greater educational funding. From the OP: “Supporters of the #RedForEd movement, which erupted publicly just eight weeks ago, said their biggest win from the walkout was not gained on the floors of the House or Senate. Their win came from outside. Throughout the walkout, teachers and their support

You appear, Richard, to have either missed or now forgotten summer’s recent post on this very subject. A basic requirement of a meaningful and functional education is the ability to read, absorb, retain and apply what you’re reading. Try all that with these relevant and well-articulated observations of summer’s, re-posted below for your benefit: “Posted by: summer “Date: May 06, 2

That would amount to engaging in light mindedness, loud laughter and evil speaking/editing of the Lord’s formally-anointed program of homepreaching, er, teaching. Most likely, the vicious vid was satanically inspired and then outer-darkness produced by chain-smoking, beer-swilling, card-playing ex-Mo merchants of malevolence or other sinfully-spawned degenerate non-saints who were mirac

What you see on the earth is what people have made up. Instead of devotion to the mythology of a “true church,” the important thing is to be true to oneself.

. . . be it Scientology or Mormonism (in this case, specifically, the latter). Since Mormonism operates on the fundamental principle of separating people from their money and does so by: preaching, teaching and practicing primordial sexism and racism; by openly lying about and rewriting its sordid history; by shamelessly promoting an virulently anti-science mindset; by ruthless
