Friday Crop Report on a Thursday week 14.

[Herc]

Why not teachers, the shit they put up with in the classrooms these days in not the same as what is was when we went to school.

Broken homes, disrepect, cell phones, not to mention the parents who blame everybody else for their own lack of parenting skills. Nothing more than a drop off babysitting for some.

Everybody wants their children to have a good education, you get what you pay for.

Two neices from SK who are teachers gave me the run down a month ago.

As some on Agriville like to throw out the word vision, Moe should pull his head out of his ass on this one

what other job you know of you work 9-3 and get christmas off, spring break off, easter off and 2 months in the summer off and make $90k? By the way thats damn near the same as nurses.

Nurses deserve everything they get. Teachers are overpaid in my opinion.

Any teachers on here, or have wives or husbands in the classroom to weigh in on the topic?

Want to make a teacher squirm tell them they should get paid by the hour like most other occupations do . They get paid about the same annual salary as a nurse but per hour worked much much more. I have a daughter in law in both professions and seen there t4 for last year. The nurse works in emerg in large hospital and very seldom makes it home at the end of her shift. Makes for a shitty family life. Teacher home every day at 4 , no weekend work , countless days off. Both notable professions just one is a much easier lifestyle.

Teachers in my family include: mother, sister, wife, Mother in Law and her father, Grandpa and most of his siblings plus his father, cousin's children, second cousins, my mom's cousins, etc.

The teachers who care do earn their keep, for the few who are just putting in time, its a great gig.

The hard working teachers are likely underpaid during their careers, but when you add up all the benefits over a lifetime, it is one of the most profitable careers relative to the education required and hours worked.

I met my grade 6 teacher and her teacher husband a couple of years ago, they have now been retired for more years than they worked. That defined benefits retirement isn't sustainable. When the average tax paying working stiff who pays for it that doesn't have access to the same level of benefits.

Very good points.
I'm wondering if there isn't any other union workers we could criticize before the ones who care for us?
Better yet, focus on the unions themselves. You might find the root of the problem.

And just so we don't get kicked over in to Chuck's asylum.

For anyone using AMS to fix their spray water, we had one interesting wreck of note. Do some homework.

[furrowtickler]

Very close to the 80/20 rule with teachers
a large percentage do as little as possible , the rest earn their keep and way more.
those are the ones who go early , stay late , always the ones involved in sports teams and most other extracurricular activities and don’t get paid extra to do so .
many are typical union lackeys and a few actually care and contribute immensely.
same with most unions , just the way it is .
Wife has been a teacher for 25 plus years ….. she says the exact same thing .

Ok. I am going to go here.

Median wage 90k going to 100k in a province where the median HOUSEHOLD income is 75k.

I read an article in the Economist a few years ago predicting a future clash between taxpayers and tax eaters.

As far as politicians go, I have always maintained that they should be paid based on the average wage of the population of their province.

If the standard of living increases they should get paid.

I have harder water with high enough calcium carbonate levels that products like achieve require added AMS. I have been tempted to add AMS to Liberty or Glyphosate but have so far resisted the temptation. I am curious what you added it to?
