WOW Focus ...I thought It was only me...but nope...others are seeing this too....you are a teacher hater.... you must be/was a board member.... shame on you.... Teachers work hard for the monies they make...just like anyone who has a JOB... I have a retirement fund I pay into...I have health insurance that my Company also helped to pay for...Please don't take this wrong...but have you ever worked?....you know a real 9-5 or 7-3 or 11-7.... The distaste you have for teachers is shameful....you stick up for the admin, the Super, the Vice...so you must be a board member or an X board member.... yes your words are based on FACTS...narrow minded fact I must say.... The teachers wants this and that...so does any employee who put their time in...but to walk into a job and start making the thousand Mr W. is making without the experience in years or back ground for it and then to give them both a new Contract a year early...without even proving they deserve the position or the pay....why don't they just drive down the road at a fast rate of speed roll the window down and throw the money out.... free for all spending should be a crime.... like embezzlement....

Yep......that just seems to be the favorite response when the real truth comes out. Sounds like a little kid. People are picking on us...... Grow up. Games over.

Why not write to all of the major newspapers. An article was just in the Wallstreet Journal about Illinois. The disgrace and financial mess. Tell them they're narrow minded and argue your point with them. See how far you get.

Instead of throwing childish words, come up with a solution. It's very obvious you do not think there is a problem. How do you suggest the financial mess in Illinois be fixed? Bottom line......A solution......

Bottom line......A solution...... To fix a problem that I didn't create...well lets see... well I would start by running the District like I run my home BUDGET..... and yes No debt there.... because I was raised to believe if you DON'T have it, you don't need it... I know the difference between Luxury and Necessities... I also know how to Compromise... I also know to get rid of wasteful spending when it isn't beneficial or needed. Research other small towns and compare the salaries of their Supers with the same amount of time that Mr W has.... NOT someone who has 10-20 years of experience. I am not Attacking anyone here... you want a solution...then why didn't you get a solution to the problems when you had your seat... the same reason I could never get one for you.... because majority over rules... and who would even listen to my solution anyway?...the BOARD?.... someone from the AD building ....?

Wipedout.. Yep....your name says it all. Wiped-out...(Adjective ) ~completely exhausted. Working HARD can leave you feeling wiped out. ( Thank you to all my great Teachers for helping me make complete sentences.) here are some great Quotes from famous people you may recall... "Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength of the nation." -- John F. Kennedy "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." -- Benjamin Franklin "It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." -- Albert Einstein "One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child." -- Carl Jung One of my favorites~ "There are two kinds of people; those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there." -- Indira Gandhi

Great! Sounds like you have all the answers and you'll certainly be the best school board member ever. Please let us know when you announce your candidacy.

Great! Sounds like you have all the answers and you'll certainly be the best school board member ever. Please let us know when you announce your candidacy. No, sorry Old Timer...I don't have the answers ...sad but true... But I will be the first one to tell you the truth about that.. with out shame. I just feel that if the Government, Our school board and the ADM building treated their work Budget like their home budget the mess wouldn't be so bad. AND YES Mr W walked into the mess C B left. I feel that the new way of the world is horrible about spending...spend now pay later ...that has caused the majority of ILL. problems as a mother...I work hard to teach my children the value of a dollar... and teaching of the future of savings for a hard time so they do not need to rely on the gov. or anyone else to pave their way in the future. Yes there is so many "mad" people in this town and Yes they want to see a Quick fix...but there is none. STOP THE FREE FOR ALL SPENDING...start there and buckle down for the hardest part and maybe it will work out. We as Tax paying Citizens have no say in how things can or will be run in this town's Schools... as I heard a Board member say.....one person can NOT change how things go on a Board... you just go along for the ride... because you are out numbered by the majority.
