Jim,
I can understand your feelings. The county my wife is teaching in here in
Florida is still negotiating a contract with the teachers for the 2002-2003
school year. Only one in the last 22 years have the teachers here started a
school year with a contract settled. BTW the superintendent was up for
re-election that year. They hold the purse strings. They keep the money most
of the year and collect interest on it, then settle the contract just before
the end of the school year. Nice attitude toward their employees!

That's worse than Florida. Since I got laid-off, I've been teaching part
time (and consulting the rest of the time) at a local Technical college.
The pay is $20.00 per hour. Since the local School Board is now broke,
they want me to continue as a 'Long Term Substitute'. The pay is $75 for a
10 hour day - or $10 per hour!! That's terrible! I'm teaching Web design,
Java scripting, Photoshop, etc. for $10 an hour!!?? If that isn't bad
enough, they actually dock the first two weeks of pay to $60 per day then
they catch up by paying the "missing" $15 after 14 days.
Unreal!
