Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Northeast PA State System Schools (College)

Ok well this is what's going on with the whole State vs. the Teachers. The State System of schools of PA has I think 15 schools in it with 104,000 kids total. The teachers have been working without a contract since June... now when the state tried to re-negotiate they basically wanted to cut benefits (make teachers pay for health insurance which has always been covered) as well as freezing the salaries made by teachers. That would mean that teachers would make much less due to inflation and what not. Basically the two sides are very far off when it comes to a contract and it doesnâ??t look good as far as a strike goes. The real losers here are the students, like me, because we might lose that time and not get compensated for itâ?¦

As for private schoolsâ?¦ I was going to go to Bucknell but I didnâ??t want to with all the preps and stuffâ?¦ :-D I love it here at MU
