Interesting. Then I guess it is their problem then.

That was a different thread, regarding Montana I believe.

Oregon is considering using 3-man crews for the 6A and 5A teams within three years.
Cut in pay possible to get it enacted.

Heresy! Eliminate one of those make work jobs for teachers?

They'd sooner eliminate us entirely.

Don't get me started on teacher, union, pay issues.

I'm Not Complaining, But Don't Get Me Started ...
 

... and don't get me to finish it (says a retired teacher, with three college degrees, who had to work second, and third, jobs for over twenty years to move into the middle class, purchase a moderately sized home (2000 square feet) with a thirty year mortgage, that I'm still paying off, and who is always paying off four year car loans on two moderately priced cars that the family keeps for eight years, and then don't get me started on doing "schoolwork" at home at night, on weekends, and during non-paid vacations, and non-paid holidays, yeah, that's right, at least here in Connecticut, teachers don't get paid for vacations, and holidays). Can you tell that I wasn't an English teacher?

Oh, but its for the kids! :eek:

Hindsight is always better, but if one tech had been issued to the bench, a simple "If one more bench tech is given, you know that you are ejected, right?" might have made a difference. But knuckleheads seem to surround themselves with even bigger knuckleheads, so it may only have helped in a dream world.

Really? Really? Eliminate teaching positions in favor of getting 3 man crews?

That's ****ing ridiculous.

I think he's talking about the extra money they're spending for the overtime for each of those teachers "working" at the game; not actually firing teachers but giving them a bit less overtime to sit in the corner of the gym during the basketball game.

I changed careers and am now a teacher. Don't assume that every teacher is a union member. And, by the same token, don't assume that all teachers are tenured.

Exactly. Or maybe stop paying teachers keeping the book more than they pay the game officials.

Instead, they'll have 8 teachers there drawing pay and maybe an off duty cop or two but when it comes to a third official there's no money. Cry me a river.

Don't think I did.... On both. ???

Take a deep breath and reread the post and follow the discussion

Really, really? Eliminate teacher positions

Oh wait we're talking about extra pay for table, ticket taking, security work

Silly me
