going to go on strike.  The teachers in the school district are fighting over a 5.5% pay cut.

in the state of Michigan like the start of school after Labor-Day.

even more than teachers in the state.  A few make over 100 grand per year as coach.

The Austin American-Statesmen has an article on the disjointed pay where average pay of 4A/5A coach is over 73 grand while a teacher makes an average of 42 grand.

The have an article up on these coaches and what they do.

They have an article up on pay of coaches from decades ago that made way less then they do today.

They have an article up on Cornell Gray who works with special-education kids first and make just over 42 grand per year.

I think it stinks that the teachers have to get paid WAY less than than the football coach. Even the places where these teams play and train at are even better than some colleges which is a complete no-no!!!

it is a program in the HISD that reaches out to droupouts to try to get them to finish high school.  They went to over 2,300 plus homes this year.

aired an episode last night on Monica Groves who is a first year teacher that has gone through the Teach For America program.  The show spent on full year with the teacher. You can read a full transcript of the show from the link I have posted.

At 8pm EST they are going to have a new Breaking Point special called “Why Does College Cost So Much and Is It Worth It?”.

It will be hostec by Newt Gringrich.
