DISCLAIMER: I am not picking on Franklin Superintendent Steve Patz or any other super…..just stay with me, ok.
You cannot make this stuff up.
I was driving to a meeting today listening to Charlie Sykes. He was devoting a segment of his program to a breaking story, and kudos to them, on Milwaukeenewsbuzz.com. It is mind blowing and mind boggling:
“Some Milwaukee Public Schools teachers could be getting their hotel accommodations or other Spring Break vacation expenses paid by the district under an agreement reached with the teachers union.”
Now this comes after yours truly blogged information received earlier this month from the MacIver Institute:
“Information provided by MPS and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and compiled by the MacIver Institute shows that in 2002, the average MPS teacher made $63,413 in salary and benefits. Next year, the average teacher will make $98,423*.
Now they’re getting vacation expenses paid for them??!!
Holy phone lines, Batman! That’s a talk show topic.
So Charlie opened up the airwaves to the audience.
Some teacher union sympathizer got in and tried to go head to head with Charlie.
Mistake.
The talk show host always has the upper hand. He’s a better communicator, debater, and he has studied up on the facts.
He defended this sweetheart vacation deal the teachers were getting.
He claimed that the poor, whiny, moaning teachers deserve far more than what they get.
And Sykes, as you might expect, had him for lunch. Whiny, moaning crybaby teachers don’t need whiny, moaning, crybaby sympathizers to rush to their defense…..because they have no defense.
Alright, alright, Kevin. Why drag Steve Patz into this?? Huh??
OK, I’ll tell you, and again, I have nothing against Patz per se.
It’s just that this ignoramus that foolishly called into the Sykes program said, and you can hear it on the podcast, that school superintendents deserve a lot more than what they are currently being compensated.
Oh really?
Yes, really.
How much?
Try, in the millions.

THE GREAT OBAMESSIAH!
Sorry.
Superintendents, and that would include Franklin’s Steve Patz, don’t deserve more than the governor. Those of you who were in on negotiating Patz’s contract, you got screwed and so did the Franklin taxpayers.
Millions for school superintendents who are running districts cranking out failing student after failing student?
Wow. Are we in trouble.
