My spouse and I both work in the private sector and we have 4o1K's something teachers do not have....and we do not have to continually go to college and get more credits to keep our jobs...when we leave work we are finished....can you tell my family has teachers among us...I see what they do and what they go through...and I thank my lucky stars I did not follow their footsteps and in todays world I hope we are all teaching our children the importance of retirement benefits...something I never knew about until my parents became ill and I took over their finances....then I realized how screwed we were!!!! I can only say the teachers in dorchester county must love their jobs to stay and count your lucky stars they do....all of my family got out of the county and went to where they have benefits and a good salary and they still do what their life long dream was....to teach children....I think the point was that our county is at the bottom of the state and we will stay there as long as attitudes prevail that they should be glad they have a job! How sad that one would even think that....what a hurtful thing to say for those dedicated to their profession.
I remain an advocate for children even though my children are grown...I want better for our children attending schools today...not the bottom of the barrell and that is what we could end up with if citizens do not support education...that was the point...God Bless the educators that love and care for students every day...the ones I see buying clothes for their students, taking children for haircuts and paying, providing Xmas for children, staying after school to tutor children for no pay....should I go on...it happens in every school...Have you ever spent a day in the classroom with a teacher to see what a day is like....and if so did you stop to think how many hours it took the night before to prepare for all the lessons taught that day and how many papers that teacher graded the night before and entered those grades on the computer...no time during a day to do that....and while that teacher is doing this at home....what about their family....teachers sacrifice everyday of their life...and yes not one teacher in dorchester county would be here if it were for the money and benefits...count your blessings! o.k. off my soapbox...guess you can tell that I am passionate about education.

In Delaware, it's 50% of salarya and 100% percent of health care paid by the state. In Caroline, it's 80% of health care paid...so you can see why many teachers cannot afford to stay in Dorchester Co.
And in the private sector, it's 0% of health care and 0% of your salary. Don't get me wrong, I admire teachers and most of them earn every penny.I know I couldn't do what they do in todays world, where they aren't even allowed to raise their voice for fear of a lawsuit. But getting something for retirement is better than nothing. Ideally, you choose a profession and place of employment because it is your chosen life's work, not because it comes with the most attractive "benefits." There are alot of people out there who are making tons of money and are totally miserable. There are just as many who live hand to mouth who go to bed every night at peace with themselves because they truly enjoy what they do every day.

| I'm one of those retired teachers who stayed in Dorchester out of love for the county and I'm barely making it. I was offered jobs in other counties but I believed in ours and now I'm having a very hard time. Look at what our Judges make in the same retirement system as teachers and state police!

according to the state data this info is correct....the point that I was trying to make earlier today and was questioned about...a friend retired this year from seaford, delaware and she and her husband will get 100% health care paid for by the school system...and Delaware does not have sales tax base to draw from.....our state and counties need to look at Delaware's ability to fund education and withouth the tax base for funding....even though teachers retire in the maryland state retirement system, they do not get as much retirement as the maryland state police....you would think it would be the same system since it is called "the maryland state retirement systerm" as said, Where are all the teachers going?

| i completely understand sandy hill - but it's actually a compliment to her if you really think about it.i had a few teachers in school that i have said " God,I hope they are still teaching when my kids get here...most ,unfortunately ,are not.if what yuo are saying about Susan is true & i truly believe they are...then the best gift the students & staff of Sandy hill can give her is to carry on as she wanted you to.focus on whatever it is positive that she taught you & let that guide you the rest of the way through school...better yet ,your whole life if she was that influential to you.that will mean she was successful in her endeavors & you will be in yours.trust me when i tell you the people at warwick need someone like her if everything that is being said is true. i admire your attempt to correct something you feel so strongly about...but you have had the benefit of her ...please be willing to give that chance to other children who deserve it as much as sandy hill students do!!!

You should change yor name to Octovane or maybe "The Surpreme Ruler"
And I think you should change your name to "Notfooled" because you remind me an awful lot of her. Yes, you MAY not be her but you DEF have a NASTY attitude just like her. Hmmmm...?
At least Sandy Hill Team has the ambition to try and change things they thing need to be changed! All you do is sit here and complain. Did you even read that they are still in school?!? I for one applaud them for standing up for something, and not just complaining.
The nasty attitude comment was directed toward "luv it the way it is" or "Notfooled", whatever you wish to call her. I think it's great you are so determined.

| Abbeys mommy-I Know Mrs.Price has fixed Sandy Hill but they dont have to move her because of it.She does not want to go(no offence) she doesn't deserve to be thrown around to fix all the schools.That is tramitising.Imagine you were her,you have been at that school for six years,with the same kids that you care about and love,with the same exellent relieable staff that you have befriended,and you don't want to leave.Now with out a say,with out warning,SOMEONE ELESE DECIDES FOR YOU,that you are going to another school.No one wants her to go and she does not want to leave.Sorry for any spelling mistakes.I feel very strongly about this and only two people can change my mind.Mrs.Susan Price and Mrs.Sue Harper.

i think video in the classroom is an excellent idea.i can't for the life of me figure out why luv is so against parent involvement.are'nt we the ones ultimately responsible for our children?I can tell you from 1st hand experience - teachers will lie.perfect example.my daughter..in 3rd grade ,end of term 2 had an A in math.no notes came home.no letters sent,no e- mails,no phone calls about any problems,test papers brought home for signing were all a's or b's .when mid terms came out - she had a c in math.i immediately questioned her why such a drop in just a few weeks.she stated that a boy that was at her table was constantly talking & disrupting & she could not concentrate.now,for those of you have kids in the system know that mid -terms come before conferences are held,but scheduled ahead of time.i went to my pt con & questioned the teacher.her comment to me was that she knew my child was capable ,did have one bad test score & was apparently just not focusing.i told her what my child stated to me as the reason & she question that stating that she did not understand because my child sat at the front right in front of where she stood.when i questioned my child when i got home,she started crying she was so upset & stuck to her same story & said she sits in the back ,always had & at the same table as this boy that was disrupting.the next day ,i popped in & guess what? my child was in the back of the class,at the same table as this boy ,who was poking her with a pencil as i stood there & watched.she kept moving her chair over ,trying to get away from him.when he would not stop ,she raised her hand & after 5 min the teacher finally said,"put your hand down ,we're almost done". I scheduled a conference with Mrs.Ruark.in the conference room was myself,Ruark,Carpenter,Mrs.Lucas,Mrs .Holden & Mrs.Henderson.she of course STILL denied where my child sat ( thank God for cell phones with cameras).the c that she was given came from a "bad" test paper.when she showed us the test ,it was one that i had not signed ,nor ever seen.as I looked at it again,i saw the date ...which turned out to be from the previous term(like mid way ,not end) & apparently had never been sent home.& the teacher still wanted to argue about the dates for the terms even after the admin was telling her that I was right.after this ,I requested that my child be transferred to the other 3rd grade teacher & I was denied not once but twice & their reasoning was that it would be detremental to her socially to be moved away from her friends ( there was only 2 - 3rd grade teachers & they were all friends & had all been together since k or pre k...so her friends were in that class as well)this is why i have made it my mission to be a thorn in their side because some of them just don't give a d**n.i am not the only one & we are tired of it & that is why parents like me ( & our #'s are growing) are so involved & bombarded the board.we have had enough & until they start listening ,we are not going to stop.it looks like things are finally starting to happen.
sandy hill - i understand your love for Mrs.Price - but their is a reason - sandy hill has been molded into a fine school ,thanks to her ( & many others) & now they need her to get warwick into shape.if mrs Price was successful in her job - you all will be fine - if things start to falter...well ,then they'll know where the blame will lie.don't let that happen .make her proud .
the same is true for the middle school in nd.the ndms is unreal.well,mr evans has taken care of the high school,they are on track & now he must go take care of the middle school because of their issues.
if parents are not involved - the only ones who will suffer will be the children

talk to teachers who have been teaching for 30 or more years and can not afford to retire because of the benefits...or talked to a retired teacher....then look at the benefits even "poor" caroline county teachers get when they retire...much , much higher....sorry that you did not believe me and thought i was shooting off fiction... Sorry you read into my question. You have erasers on your pencils? I do. Anyone of us can make a mistake. That's why I try to remember to add qualify phrases.
.I was asking for support for teachers not controversary that they do not need or deserve. I understand. I just wondered where you got your info from, which is the right of anyone to ask, and you supplied the reference.
Don't be surprised or offended when someone does that. People do it to me and it's fine.
I do encourage you to start with Annapolis. They've taxed us more and we are getting less.
God bless,
Pete

Show me where the state has cut back on the funding for the roads? And I'll show you where the state is paving roads that don't even need paving. LOL, it seems like it. Are you thinking of Rt. 16 across from the school which was done less than three years ago? I asked the county council, which has little control of that, what was going on. There were cracks in the road down that way.
Anyhow, that is another topic and I would like to see this thread stay on course, so I reiterate, -want more money for education in Dorchester? --start with Annapolis.

I'm not too sure where you get this from...

But anyhow, as a former reporter to what was the Daily Banner, and one who attends many of the county council meetings,
of all those years I have been there, EXCEPT for this year, the County has always funded the BOE ABOVE the state requirement of maintenance of effort.
The County could not do so this year per the operational budget.
However, the County did agree, 3 to 2 I believe, to help fund the new Tech school at a cost to the county (I believe) of 17 million.
Rally if you will, but you might want to start with Annapolis which probably needs to straighten its budget first. The state has cut back on funding for education, roads and more.
God bless,

Big brother is not a good idea.
There already in the hallways in most schools and in the lunch rooms so I think it would be a good idea to have them in the classrooms and available for online viewing but only to parents with children in the specific school. It has nothing to do with your big brother theory. If this was possible parents and administrators could make sure everyone is doing their best and correct deficiencies with teachers and children.

| Why not? I would not call it big brother, this has nothing to do with the government. My friend has a daughter in ballet class, they do not want the parents in the room during the class so they have a camera set up and the parents can watch from another room. I think it's nice. If your child is acting up, you can see it first hand if your watching at just the right moment. No more of the parents saying my child didn't do it.

I believe parents need to teach kids how to behave at home. I also believe that many parents are overly involed for the wrong reasons. There is a big difference between interested and bully/influencing teachers/admin/and in some cases kids themselves to benefit their own child. Believe me I have seen it.

How did the schools function back in the day without parental involvment ? The people who run the school systems are highly educated (as am I) and are trained to do their job. Would you be ok with an everyday joe overseeing a doctor or a lawyer?
Everyone needs someone or group watching over them when they are in a position that has authority.
I agree, but not a group of persons with their own agends. Also, thats what the elected board does.

How did the schools function back in the day without parental involvment ? The people who run the school systems are highly educated (as am I) and are trained to do their job. Would you be ok with an everyday joe overseeing a doctor or a lawyer?

You should change yor name to Octovane or maybe "The Surpreme Ruler"
And I think you should change your name to "Notfooled" because you remind me an awful lot of her. Yes, you MAY not be her but you DEF have a NASTY attitude just like her. Hmmmm...?
At least Sandy Hill Team has the ambition to try and change things they thing need to be changed! All you do is sit here and complain. Did you even read that they are still in school?!? I for one applaud them for standing up for something, and not just complaining.
What are the school boards responsibilities?

Sandy Hill etc. I am glad you like Mrs. Price so much, but please give the next level of principals a chance. If you are as helpful as you say, you will find lots of teachers and administrators that you will love.
Vinnie: Amen to your statement. Just let the teachers do their job and parents do theirs. I think the board is doing an okay thing.

| I think we should leave these people alone. Most of them are dorchester born and raised. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and wait til mid-year to pass judgement.

Why don't people trust the board?

If only EVERY parent could feel this way ....
