Schools run by control freaks?
Nah, they're all about producing good* citizens.

http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/92681?fp=1

Quote:On Friday night, when the senior class was waiting to graduate, excitement began to grow. Students bounced a large inflatable rubber duck. The noise level rose. And then came "the kiss." When called, one student walked on stage to receive his diploma and blew a kiss to his family. The school administrator, clearly not the sentimental sort, sent the student back to his seat ... sans diploma.

But the administrators feel they were just enforcing the rules that students agreed to. At a meeting following the debacle, school superintendent Suzanne Lukas said that "if a student doesn't adhere to the expectations, then the consequences are clearly spelled out."

In fairness, I'll be looking to see if there's more to the story that the blogger conveniently left out.

Yeah, there has to be something that's not being reported. I can't imagine anyone being tossed for blowing a kiss to his mom.

Not this West Virginian...

But the school system has always been run by control freaks. Those who can't do, teach, since almost any other job pays more...

Not even remotely true, but the myth persists.

It is true depending on the area.

Even an entry level teacher will make more than any hourly employee, in almost any part of this country. A 22 yr old PE teacher in rural Alabama will make more than the equivalent of $10 -$12 an hour. Assuming you could even find work for $10-$12 an hour in rural areas.

Assuming you can find a teaching job, shouldn't you make at least $10 an hour? A bachelor's degree and likely continuing education requirements should probably come with decent compensation.

That's exactly what the College Administration crowd keeps peddling. Problem is, it's just another Ponzi scheme.

Nevertheless, teachers' salaries are quite reasonable. Some are downright generous.

Yes...When you include benefits and retirement. In NC the retirement system is pretty good for teachers.
