I agree. I'm 13 and spend over 120 hours per week in the oil mines of North Dakota. I puked when I read the first comment and slammed my laptop shut because I was shaking with disgust.

My friend is a high school teacher and her husband is a civil engineer in Albany. They make about $150K total. ($65K+$85K) They have two kids and I'd say they are pretty middle class. They seem to have a lot more feeling of security th

Maybe someday one of those consultants will package an approach based on raising the bar on salary and teacher/student performance moderately and call it "Moneyball Education" and it will finally take off. It will have a bett

If people really wanted to spend more on education, why don't they vote to raise their own property taxes? If they think the schools are being run poorly, why don't they get involved with the school boards and make changes? &quo

I worked with a well known group who paid their instructors $2500 to $4000 per week long class. The classes cost the students $3500 to $4000. The salary variance was due to seniority and whether or not the instructor was "famous"

I agree that it's probably not something a Cisco engineer would be wearing, but it seems like a normal 20-something outfit in Manhattan.
