This is a classic example where tone of voice can't come across!
Anyway, I think the question is 100%, Grade A bogus!

I don't care that you are wrong, or right, or mexican. Why would I? I am pretty confident of who I am, and would presume others are, too. You included. :p

Salaries were higher there (but then again so were the taxes). That was about 15-20 years ago, so I have no idea how it has changed, but it was a socialized system, and workers were treated differently, and every one had medical coverage as well. Don't see that happening any time soon in the USA.
Our district definitely takes advantage of putting you back in the "equivalent" job. They will put the screws to you any way they can.
Last year, our superintendent received a 12% raise, and then froze the budget in the entire district so that no supplies, books, or anything could be bought from January until the new fiscal year in July.
Unfortunately, the U.S. is no longer the world leader in women's rights. Along with science, math, health care, life expectancy, etc, etc. :(
Perhaps parts of the US lead the way...Montana for example but....Quote:
