" poor james. he cannot read or spell. no wonder he is jealous "

" Longboard315, you wouldn't have the stones to walk in the shoes of a Correction Officer, but then again the teachers job and a correction officers are not much different today. "

" I see alot of so-called teachers posted.

But all I see in the postings are self-important poeple with their hands in taxpayers money, small people with small minds that only think of themsleves. I

I would write, that after reading the posts, that Auburn should FIRE the lot of them, and hire new. WITHOUT the
Union!!!

And how do gym "teachers" make 1-1/2 times more than real teacher!!!

Let Peterson start the cutting process here! "

" If the contract states they get paid early, PAY THEM EARLY! "

" Wish I could get my pay check almost 2 weeks early! "

" They work 187 days per year and get better benefits than than people in private industry.
Years ago teachers were given great benefits ,medical, retirement etc to make up for the lack of income. Today most teachers with over 10 years make over $50,000 per year. They can spread there income over the summer if they wish.
There are many people with advanced degree's that do not make as much and certainly do not have the benefits that teachers have here.
When you speak of the poor teacher look to the southern states, where they make half of what they make here. "

" Northcountry has no clue what teachers do have or do not have. Personal DAYS?? HA! VACATION?? HA! They don't GET paid for summer Sir. That's not a vaction. They only get paid for when they work, just like everyopne else. The contract needs to be followed whether JD likes it or not. Why does he antagonise the teachers? Why does the Board let him get away with it? Are teachers not valued in this community? "

" There are 21 pay poeriod for teachers. There is one month each year that has three checks. This year it will either be December by contract or January by administrative fiat. The teachers will receive two checks in December and two cheks in January, the additional check is the annual 'extra check.' I don't think they will be whining, while waiting; but I do think many have planned to use the 21st check for the holidays and should receive it as planned.I think every one would rather pay with money in hand than with credit cards. "

" True, teachers do work hard, put in extra hours, help children in ways we can only imagine. However, there are many individuals who have also spent thousands on their education, put in the extra hours, and go above and beyond whatever their job may entail. These individuals do not have all of the benefits teachers have - i.e., extra personal days (even though there are Christmas, winter, spring and summer vacations) throughout the school year, they do not pay what others have to contribute toward their healthcare costs, and let's not forget about that guaranteed pension. We spend more in tax dollars for their benefits than we do on our children's educations. You won't see many teachers giving up their stipends or annual salary increases during these bad economic times. "

" why would you want to have additional pay added on to your w2 and pay tax on it in the year it isn't earned? and why would you want to wait for your next check until 1/14. they'll be crying when 1/2/09 comes around and all their money is spent before 1/1/09 and they wait until 1/14 for the next check. get real "

" Section 4.2 of the ATA contract clearly states: In the event that a paycheck falls due on a nonschool day, it shall be made available on the last official day preceding this date.

If the teachers do get paid before Xmas, wouldn't that be a good thing for our community where we want to SPEND the MONEY! I mean retailers are hurting right? "

" James_13021:
It's obvious that you are a eunuch (education-wise). Kindly remove your cranium from the seat of your pants and realize A DEAL IS A DEAL.The contract says they get the pay, so give it to them. You need the reality check, pal. Think of the worst day you've had with your child and his/her attitude.NOW mulitiply by 20, you now have an inkling of a teachers day. "

" This is unnecessary conflict on the part of Mr. Pabis. These are salaried employees and the district needs to stick to the payment schedule that has been agreed on through the contract. If this was a problem for the district it should have been discussed at the time the contract was negotiated. Mr. Pabis continues to do a disservice to this district by being atagonistic. In May he challenged the voters and now the ATA. The Board needs to review his abilities. "

" Anyone who thinks that teachers are overpaid is more than welcome to take a tour of duty behind MY desk for a day. I am willing to bet that you would RUN out the door at the end of the school day. Teachers work long hours trying to educate kids who are do not come to school ready to learn, have behavioral issues, or rarely show up at all. Don't even get me started on the parents that don't want to be accountable for anything either. I did not spend five years and countless THOUSANDS of dollars learning how to BE a teacher so that I could mediate fights in the hallway, classroom, bathroom, and/or parking lot. I DO spend many hours of my day counseling kids, encouraging kids and reinforcing social and moral issues that SHOULD be addressed in the home. I also spend a good deal of my own money for educational aids that make my teaching more effective. I attend conferences, I supervise extra curricular events and there are many evenings when I spend HOURS on the phone trying to get in touch with parents of my students. Like it or not, in general, you pay the person who takes your TRASH away each week, more than you pay the person that prepares your child life in an ever changing world. And you don't hassle city government workers HALF as much as you hassle teachers. The next time you want to complain about what schools do or don't do, put your money where your MOUTH is and spend a few hours in your local school. (And I don't mean recess or lunch time either)

We are not all perfect educators, but a large percentage of us MORE than earn what we are paid. "

" The contract language is clear, and this seems to be the work of someone with a Napolean Complex.

They must honor the contract, not make unilateral changes as they see fit. Why would the Administration want to go to war over something as superficial as this.

And as the reason for not following the Contract and the Past Practice, these idiots are going to point to a ruling made over forty years ago which they have NEVER FOLLOWED BEFORE??? "

" Whats wrong with their request James? Wouldnt you want to get paid before the holidays? You and the rest of the ignorant bafoons around Auburn think teachers have it made....hahaha! Believe me, they are NOT taking home killer paychecks....and for all the extra education / degrees one must posess to teach, in the REAL WORLD they would / could be making ALOT more money. You want to look @ whose getting PAID....look no further than the Auburn Prison. Ask a CO what they take home in OT? "

" So what, teachers can't use Credit Cards like the rest of us.

Teachers need a real dose of reality to see what really goes on with the rest of the world.

GO GET EM COMPTROLLER!!!

I can't wait to see what our legislators come up with cutacks. We need to renegotiate the teachers contract, and cutback benefits to what the rest of the real world pays. "
