My "estimation" is not an estimation. It's the contract. I didn't make assumptions about the work week, I stated facts. We all know teachers do after hours work, however, it isn't required by the contract. Why not make the contract reflect reality? As far as being "dismissive," once again I state facts. You show up at the board meetings and you tell me if these teachers I mentioned were qualified to teach? A teacher should lead by example and the ones I mention set a horrible example.
As far as "not having the cash" it's interesting how the Jersey City Teacher's Union president earns his FULL teaching salary paid by the taxpayers yet is the full-time union president ALSO making a salary from the Union. He has his own office, paid for by the school district and has zero educational responsibilities.
Blame the union. If you just took his $100K+ salary (and benefits) that could fund 1000 teachers' supplies for a year.
Let's not forget the Jersey City Schools has a 630 MILLION dollar yearly budget and a central office filled with people with no-show jobs. You spend some time going through the line items of the budget and perhaps you'd see the light.
