[Vision2020] A Day Without a Teacher: Senate Bill 1108 (The Vote)

[Donovan Arnold]

"A Day Without a Mexican", how about "A Day Without a Teacher". 
 
Too bad all the teachers in Idaho won't just walk out for a day if they don't have contracts. People would really appreciate them after that day.
 
Teachers in Idaho must really want to teach considering all the abuse they take from Idaho's elected officials. 
 
It is difficult to use a traditional business model for hiring and firing teachers because teachers are in a seriously disadvantaged position then other employees that don't have to please the government, children, and parents. It is difficult to please any one of those, much less having to please all three at the same time on a shoe string budget.

Oh, my . . . Blush!

Idaho does NOT have one State Senator for each of 44 counties,
but per District.

Thank you, Tom.

Sam I am

state senators.

Penni Cyr (a teacher in Moscow School District) announces:

A candle light vigil will be held at Friendship Square tonight at 6:00
p.m. this evening to send our clear disappoint in the vote and to
gather
our supporters together.  Everyone is strongly encouraged to attend.
We
are inviting the community as well, through Vision 20/20 and through
other
contacts.  Lewiston will be holding a candle vigil in Locomotive Park
at
6:00 p.m. tonight as well.  Others neighboring school districts will be
invited to attend one of these vigils.

---------------------------------------------------------

It is definitely a sad day in Idaho.

My condolences, Moscow.
