12/21 One Paycheck Away

Quote From: pkenadams

    We have a daughter who teaches kindergarden and lives from pay check to pay check. She is loved by her students, their parents, and staff. I wonder why when we trust our children to the school we don't worry about paying them. Her Supterindent left for a higher paying job and he was doing great things. Some schools seat back and make offers to obtain the better people.
The average income for a family of 4 in the US  was $65,000 in 2003.  This is with 2 incomes.   In 2003 the average teacher salary was $45,000 for one income.......that's more than half of what most 2 income families make.  I agree that teachers don't make what they are worth, but I wouldn't call them poor either.  They make higher than average salaries.

05/20 The Dr. Phil House: Brat Camp

Quote From: tkthompson

I have to agree with you!  Parents are so scared now to displine their children.  I have 4 young boys and my 2 oldest have been spanked and when the 2 youngest are old enough they will be as well if needed.  It is not abuse it is discpline that EVERY child needs!

Just my opinion!

I've mostly raised 2 beautiful, respectful, happy children.......(still have a couple of years to go) without EVERY laying a hand on them!!!!   It's harder to parent without hitting, hitting is the lazy way out!
