We are a nation of law. Do you know how much money it cost to investigate Clinton? Rightfully or not rightfully so, he did not become a figurehead. As a matter of fact, he enjoyed twice the percentage of Bush's public approval. As to Congress writing laws that they will enforce, the DoJ enforces the law and builds bridges to nowhere. How is that going to change? What we have hear is an administration that believes that it is above the law. It is ironic that they use national security as a reason for spying on Americans and then turn around to use other mail servers so they can't be spied on.
I hate "IS/OR" questions like this. The answer to both is YES. Pay which is competative with industry will attract science grads to teach. It will also cause "discontent among teachers" who somehow feel that all teachers should earn the same -- regardless of education/demand for certain skillsets. I'm a middle school math and science teacher. (I don't make any extra money for my dual certification.) Teaching is like anything else. How would you like your company to adjust the pay scale? The important thing is that decisions about salary and hiring/firing are handled fairly. That's what negotiations and unions are all about. There are many ways to earn more money in my district. Earning an extra degree is one way. I am working towards becoming a nationally board certified teacher which will qualify me for a ten thousand dollar bonus.
However, I didn't become a teacher for the money. I love what I do. How many people can say that? I can directly attribute my interest in math to my 8th. grade algebra teacher. I'm a product of public education like many people here. Yes, not many people want to be teachers. They are not going to be attracted to a profession that receives little respect.
I'm a voing system technician. It's a calibration issue or it could possibly be a deliberate " miscalibration." It is not standard operating procedure to calibrate the machines in the moring when we run our zero tapes and perform other tasks to get the machines ready (doesn't make a whole lot of sense.) That's what I think is probably behind these kinds of stories. Mistakes are a non issue. We all know that errors are random and do not benefit one particular party over the other.
