Ok, i dont know if you know the situation in mississippi or not, but many teachers have lost their jobs due to some policies and funding cuts with help from our governor haley barbour. The average pay of teachers in my area of mississippi is around 30K a year.
At a school in my area, we have a number of wealthy people teaching. They are from rich familys and do the job out of boredom (openly admit it). Well, one of these people, (whose family owns a local oil company and are multi-millionairs), misses so much work going on vacations to europe that she exceeds her yearly limit on absences and take money out of her pay check.
Is it just me or should these type of rich people be fired for missing so much work and give the job to some of the poor people that got down sized recently due to funding cuts? If they work out of boredome (like they actually said), why not volunteer at the Red Cross or some other volunteer organization.
They dont need the money and it will give them something to do. I mean, the people that got down sized are very poor people (i know a few of them), they have college degrees and can do the job just as well as the said rich people and they NEED the money and plus, they could not afford to lose the pay being deducted from their paychecks by missing so much work, so they would actually have to show up at work.
I can ALMOST see letting her have the job if her family was donating money to the school, but no! they donate no money to the schools. One of them has bragged about how her family runs a bogus store that does not exist so she can buy goods at wholesale to save even more money.
